TU's Annual Cadenhead-Settle Memorial Lecture: "A World History of Genocide"

Aired on Thursday, February 13th.

Tonight, Thursday the 13th, TU's Department of History will present the Annual Cadenhead-Settle Memorial Lecture here on the University of Tulsa campus; the event begins at 7:30pm in the Tyrrell Hall Auditorium. Our guest on ST is the distinguished academic who will be delivering this free-to-the-public lecture: Professor Norman Naimark is the Robert and Florence McDonnell Chair in East European History at Stanford University. He's also a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution and the Institute of International Studies. His lecture tonight is entitled "A World History of Genocide" --- and Prof. Naimark is actually now working on a book on this topic for Oxford University Press. Has genocide always been a facet of human history --- even in ancient, or else prehistoric, times? And what separates an act of genocide from, for example, a war crime or a massacre? And what, exactly, is the definition of genocide? These questions or issues are all routinely debated by historians across a range of disciplines --- and we explore such queries with Prof. Naimark on this edition of our program. (For more about tonight's Cadenhead-Settle Memorial Lecture, please see this link.)

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
