The event, held at Cornell’s ILR Conference Center on Lexington Avenue, featured Mabel Berezin, the Distinguished Professor of Arts & Sciences in Sociology (A&S) and director of the Institute for European Studies; and Gustavo A. Flores-Macías, professor of government (A&S) and the acting associate dean of academic affairs in the Brooks School of Public Policy. The panel was organized by the College of Arts & Sciences and the Northeast Corridor Team of Cornell’s Alumni Affairs and Development office.

Folkenflik frequently acknowledged echoes between these movements and the rise of nationalism in the U.S.
