The Lancaster Cultural Arts Center lecture series is titled “Dialogues with Authors, Researchers, Civic Leaders & Entrepreneurs” and will present thought-provoking speakers and authors addressing contemporary and historical topics and events. The events will take place at the Lancaster Cultural Arts Center, 309 W Gay St, Lancaster, SC 29720.
The first lecture will be Wednesday, June 1, at noon, featuring Dr. Amanda Ewington, Davidson College Professor of Russian Studies and history department chair. Her talk is entitled “The War in Ukraine: Origins and Consequences.” Dr. Ewington has devoted her life to studying and visiting Russia to learn their language and culture. For 34 years, she made annual trips to Russia to study, teach and explore the country’s customs. Those trips stopped in 2019 because of the pandemic. Dr. Ewington will address historical narratives and myths that Putin uses to inspire Russians to rally around the flag.
The lectures are free and no reservations are required. A calendar of topics and speakers will be on the Lancaster County Society for Historical Preservation website: http://www.lcshp.org.
