ECOM Speaker Series will host Prof. Mark Jary. Details TBA

Professor Blower's research focuses on modern American political culture, travel, and war especially in urban and transnational contexts. Her most recent book is Americans in a World at War: Intimate Histories from the Crash of Pan Am's Yankee Clipper(Oxford University Press, 2023). Combat GIs dominate the history of Americans abroad during World War II. But these soldiers constituted only a small fraction of the unprecedented millions of Americans stationed on six continents, both in and out of uniform, during the twentieth century's signal conflict. Americans in a World at War tells a panoramic story of seven worldly noncombatants, their personal histories, their politics, and the paths that led them to all board the same seaplane bound for Lisbon in February 1943. When the Yankee Clipper crashed in the Tagus River, it took five of their lives but left a paper trail that leads to a richer, deeper understanding of the cross-cutting political and ideological dimensions of Americans' war efforts. Reception starts at 4:30pm; the talk will begin at 5pm. Please RSVP to Prof. Frank Costigliola if you would like to join us for dinner.
