Svetlana Boym
> *_Isaiah Berlin: Centennial Reflections_*
>
> *_Harvard_**_ University_**_, September 25^th -26^th 2009_*
>
> Isaiah Berlin was a unique figure in the intellectual life of the
> twentieth century. A famous public figure, his work on the history of
> ideas and political theory also made him one of the two most
> celebrated political philosophers of the century. To mark the
> centenary of Berlin’s birth, Harvard University will be hosting a
> two-day conference on the 25^th and 26^th of September, 2009, devoted
> to exploring both the historical significance and internal
> complexities of Berlin’s thought, and its relevance for contemporary
> discussions of liberty, liberalism, moral and cultural pluralism, and
> the history of ideas. Reflecting the range and diversity of Berlin’s
> own interests and accomplishments, the distinguished list of speakers
> is international and multidisciplinary, and thus approach Berlin from
> a variety of viewpoints.
>
> Speakers will include: Svetlana Boym, Ioannis Evrigenis, Peter Eli
> Gordon, Stanley Hoffmann, Erin Kelly, Janos Kis, Louis Menand, Pratap
> Mehta, Martha Nussbaum, Michael Rosen, Nancy Rosenblum, Emma
> Rothschild, Alan Ryan, T.M. Scanlon, Amartya Sen, Michael Walzer, and
> Bernard Yack.
