in the international realm
The connections between international events and area studies scholarship at Yale will be explored in a year-long series of exhibitions offered at Sterling Memorial Library in celebration of the University's Tercentennial.
Titled "Yale: Crossing International Boundaries: A Tercentennial Retrospective," the exhibits will be drawn from the library's diverse holdings in area studies and in its Department of Manuscripts and Archives. The exhibits reflect the evolving scholarly interests of faculty and students in the international realm. They also provide a historical context for understanding how Yale has taught, studied and influenced countries and cultures outside of the United States.
The first exhibit, which is currently on view, focuses on the correlation between revolutionary and peace-time events which have occurred over the past 100 years in two diverse geographic regions: Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. It also documents the changing interests of Yale scholars in the countries, cultures and histories of those areas of the world. It will run through March 9.
As part of this exhibit, the Department of Manuscripts and Archives and the library's Southeast Asia Collection will host a lecture on Tuesday, Feb. 13, by Ben Kiernan, the A. Whitney Griswold Professor of History and director of the Genocide Studies Program at the Yale Center for International and Area Studies. His lecture on the topic "The Khmer Rouge, Indonesia and East Timor, and the Australian Aborigines" will take place at 3 p.m. in the lecture hall of Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High St. A reception will follow. The public is invited.
The second exhibition in the "Crossing International Boundaries" series will focus on Judaica, Near Eastern, African, East Asian and Latin American studies. The final exhibit, opening in September, will explore Yale's connections with the world of international affairs and diplomacyt.
