Timothy Snyder has been awarded the 2013 Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought
Professor Timothy Snyder has been awarded the 2013 Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought for his book Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books/ Random House, 2010). The prize was created in 1994 by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung and the Senate of the City of Bremen in honor of Arendt’s dictum that the “meaning of politics is freedom.” The prize is not an academic but a public one.
Attention Undergrads! Introducing Pathways...
The history department offers courses in nearly every region, period, and field of the global past. To assist students in choosing courses of particular interest, we have designed “Pathways” that focus on certain intellectual themes across a broad range of geographic areas. These pathways are designed to be helpful guides to available courses in areas of special strength within the Yale history department.
