Totalitarianism Across History and Disciplines | conference

The conference will take place at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia, on 15-16 November 2022

The history of confronting totalitarianism, both as a personal and a collective experience, delivers a universal message in the face of contemporary challenges of radical political evil. Totalitarian regimes marked their presence in the 20th Century as a phenomenon of industrial mass society, political violence and militarized mono-parties.

Invited panellists, guest speakers from Poland and the U.S. will deliver keynote papers and participate in round table discussions, bringing together broad expertise from both Western and East European perspectives and creating an invaluable cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary forum to explore all facets of the experience of totalitarianism.

The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage under the “Inspiring Culture”.
