We are proud to welcome Professor KATHERINE VERDERY, one of the most influential contemporary anthropologists and the author of several seminal studies about life in socialist Romania and the post-communist transition in Eastern Europe, as the next guest in our FERARU CONFERENCES ONLINE program. Starting from her latest book,My Life as a Spy, a meticulous and fascinating reconstruction of Ceaușescu’s dictatorship through her ownSecuritate file, the conversation will attempt a summation of a lifelong exposure, at once intimate and scholastic, to Romania’s complicated recent history.
