Dr George Shambaugh from Georgetown University in Washington, with which Queen’s has formed close links in recent years, will deliver the annual Frank Wright Memorial Lecture on Thursday 28 February. The lecture is hosted by Queen’s School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy.
During his talk, Dr Shambaugh will explore the common view that 9/11 changed everything for Americans and created an atmosphere of fear and pessimism about the future. According to Dr Shambaugh, these characteristics are only reflected in a very small proportion of the population, and he adds that the vast majority of Americans went on with their lives and report little or no physical or psychological impacts related to 9/11.
Dr Shambaugh’s lecture, Conventional Wisdom .v. Popular Pragmatism: A portrait of America in Turbulent Times’ will take place on Thursday 28 February 2008 at 5pm in Room G07 at the Peter Froggatt Centre at Queen’s University.
