White Supremacy and Classical Athens: A Turning Point?

In October 2021, the Lepage Center explored the critical issues of white supremacy.

Are we witnessing a "turning point" in how white supremacists use ancient Greek societies as historical models? In this roundtable, Dr. Curtis Dozier (Vassar College), Dr. Rebecca Futo Kennedy (Denison University), and Dr. Jackie Murray (University of Kentucky) discussed how white supremacist groups fetishize classical Athens and the problems behind these forms of appropriation. Moderated by Dr. Eliza Gettel (Villanova University).

Part of the 2021-2022 “Turning Points in History” series.
Presented by the Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest
