The University of Virginia Society of Slavic Graduate Students is sponsoring an interdisciplinary forum devoted challenging contemporary and historical perceptions and values, identifying outlying ideas and trends, and investigating tensions between the old and the new.
The modern world is punctuated by periods of innovation, revolution, and change. As we conceive of monumental breakthroughs throughout history and across cultures, we look to individuals and movements that have challenged the status quo and broke with accepted norms and traditions.
Forum organized by the Society of Slavic Graduate Students, CREEES, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, the Corcoran Department of Philosophy, the McIntire Department of Art, the Department of Classics, the Department of French, the Department of English, the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures, Global Studies, and the Jewish Studies Program
