The Utopian Paradox | Michael Frachetti | TEDxWUSTL

Modern problems require modern solutions, or at least that is the general consensus amongst society. Michael Frachetti is a bit different than the norm; instead, he looks to the past and the civilizations of old. Follow him as you walk through the lessons of history, ultimately changing the way we perceive the concept of utopias. Frachetti’s thought provoking ideas might be enough to spark change and putt humanity back on the right track. Michael Frachetti has been at WashU since 2005 and is currently a Professor of Archeology, he looks to showcase how civilization isn’t what we thought it was and how looking to the past can teach us lessons about our future. Currently, Professor Frachetti’s research is centered on the pastoral nomadic societies living in the steppe region, mountains and deserts of Central and Eastern Eurasia during the Bronze Age. Professor Frachetti has done work in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Maldives, is a National Geographic Explorer and his research has been featured in the New York Times, Nature, Science, and Archaeology Magazine. Lastly, Professor Frachetti is in the midst of writing his latest book, “Ancient Inner Asia”.
