Carolina Public Humanities Seminar • Alexander and Catherine: ‘Greats’ and Their Empires
October 30, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
What makes a leader “great?” Join us for a review of two charismatic and important figures in world history, Alexander of Macedon and Catherine of Russia, both of whom share the superlative. These leaders conquered territory, consolidated power, and left large political and cultural legacies in their wake. This Dialogues Seminar will examine their lives in parallel to identify important similarities while placing them in the contexts of their very different time periods.
How (and when) Alexander Became Great — Fred S. Naiden, Professor of History and the Curriculum in Peace, War, and Defense
Catherine the Great — Louise McReynolds, Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professor of History
“Greats” and Their Empires — A panel discussion with the speakers
