New York University historian Tony Judt delivered "Disturbing the Peace: Intellectuals and Universities in an Illiberal Age," part of the University Professorship Lecture series, in December.
Judt is a University Professor and director of the Remarque Institute at NYU. His research interests include French social history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and French and European intellectual and political history since World War II. A frequent contributor to many journals in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East, Judt is also the author or editor of 12 books, including his latest work, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, published last year.
The University Professorship Lecture series was established to recognize faculty who have recently been appointed as University Professors at NYU. University Professorships are conferred upon outstanding scholars in recognition of the interdisciplinary dimension and breadth of their work.
