Timothy Garton Ash: The History of the Present

Timothy Garton-Ash is a man in high demand. He briefed George W. Bush before the latter’s visit to Europe in 2001; he lectures across the world; he writes extensively in the international press. His work on the revolutions of 1989 has won awards in France, Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic, not to mention recognition in the United Kingdom. His interest in modern history and current affairs will inform this talk, on the ‘history of the present’ for the Stubbs society, which offers a rare chance to hear and meet a man who has entered the corridors of power of which he writes.

This event will be followed by a drinks party (£3 for non-members).


Friday 12 November, 8.30 pm / St. John's College / New Seminar Room.
