CHDR Presents: Beyond Words: Russian Language, History, and International Dialogue

Thursday, November 19, 2026 noon to 1 p.m.

How can learning Russian deepen our understanding of history and the world?

Join Dr. Peter Kuznick, Professor of History and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University, for a conversation exploring his historical research, including his work with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone and his nomination of 2024 Nobel Peace Prize winners Nihon Hidankyo, his long and fruitful experiences collaborating with colleagues in Russia and the importance of cross-cultural understanding.

His visit offers students an opportunity to explore how language study can open doors to research, meaningful conversations and a deeper understanding of relations between the United States and Russia. For students of Russian, this is a chance to connect classroom learning with important historical and global questions.

Co-presented with the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures
