National Identity and the Politics of Nationalism: Decolonization - Professor Dane Kennedy

In the fifth installment of the 2016 Winter Lecture Series, Professor Dane Kennedy of George Washing University, speaks on Decolonization. The lecture took place on Sunday, March 13, 2016 at the Unitarian Church of Lincoln, Nebraska. This year's series topic is "National Identity and the Politics of Nationalism" All people are citizens of nation-states, but individual loyalties are sometimes more strongly attached to tribe, or to culture, race, religion, or even to regional entities such as the European Union. In turn those loyalties influence responses to issues from poverty to refugees, terrorism, wars, etc. Consider how such loyalties influence the refugee crisis in Germany, tribal and economic issues in Nigeria, religious politics in India, nationalism in Scotland, or the potential for democracy in Iraq, and how those loyalties influence ideas of 'American exceptionalism' or 'Russian exceptionalism." The 2016 Winter Lecture Series will consist of five sessions - an overview and four lectures examining different regions of the world. The final session will be a panel discussion. The lectures will be presented on six successive Sundays from 2/14/16 to 3/20/16. All activities will be at the newly renovated Unitarian Church, 6300 A Street. Each Sunday session will begin at 7:00 PM and end at 9:00 PM, with the 1-hour lecture followed by a brief refreshment period and then an audience-driven Q&A. The lectures are free and open to the public and parking is available. This program is supported in part by Humanities Nebraska and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment. The Unitarian Church of Lincoln provides logistical support, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) provides assistance with publicity by keeping its members informed of this Lecture Series.
