“War and America” with Dr. Raymond Haberski, Jr.

Join us and Dr. Raymond Haberski, Jr., Professor of History at Indiana University Indianapolis, as we discuss the idea of “war” and how it has affected culture throughout American history. War made America; America has remade the world through war. American power, both internal and external, has depended on American actions in war; thus, American democracy has demonstrated a new way to imagine the rational and limits of war. How have Americans thought about war over the nation’s history? How do Americans think about the morality of war and the necessity of being prepared to fight wars? The future of American wars depends on Americans considering their nation’s past experiences. This talk will outline ways to think through those experiences.
