In a lecture based on the book that won the 2018 Cundill History Prize, "The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World", Professor Maya Jasanoff (Harvard University) presents Conrad as a prophet of globalization. Jasanoff explores how Conrad was deeply influenced by the dawn of the twentieth century — the tensions of global capitalism, encroaching imperialism and unprecedented migration which still characterize our global world.
Delivered in Montreal, QC on Wednesday, November 13, 2019.
