On October 25, we held our 7th annual Jacob-&-Wilhelm-Grimm Lecture. Our speaker was James Retallack, University of Toronto professor of History. His research interests (1830-1918) include German regional history, nationalism, anti-semitism, electoral politics, and historiography. He has edited or authored 14 books, and his 15th is currently in the works. In November 2011 Retallack was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
You can now watch his lecture, "Democracy in Disappearing Ink: The Politics of Exclusion in Germany Before Hitler," on the Faculty of Arts' YouTube channel. More more information about the lecture, or to view the speaker's publications, please visit the event page.
