The UNK Department of History presents another brown bag lecture titled, “Comparative Nationalism: The Ethnic vs. Civic Debate and its Implications for Modern Slavic Nations.”
The lecture will be presented by UNK Graduate Kaitlyn Selzler at the Kearney Public Library Wednesday December 14 at noon.
The topic will touch on two key types of nationalism that have been hotly debated in historical scholarship: civic and ethnic nationalism. Understanding the differences between civic and ethnic nationalism, and the role these differences played in the history of previously socialist countries such as Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The discussion will provide an outline for understanding the role of nationalism in present international relations, specifically in the modern Slavic nations.
