Jacques Julliard to Speak at Western Western
will host history expert Jacques Julliard Sept. 23. He will present
“The United States, France and Europe: A Conflicting Friendship” at
7 p.m. in the Leah Spratt Multipurpose Classroom Building, Kemper
Recital Hall, and it is free and open to the community. He will also
speak to classes while on campus. Julliard’s

contemporary history, especially the workers’ movement and the history
of political cultures in France since the Revolution. He has worked as a
journalist for the left-of-center liberal weekly “Le Nouvel
Observateur,” of which he is currently executive director and a weekly
columnist. Julliard is lecturing throughout the United States. The event is organized by the Alliance Française organization and is sponsored by the departments of English, foreign languages and journalism; history, philosophy, and geography; and government, social work and sociology. |
