ORONO — Thomas Remington, a Harvard University visiting research scholar and Emory University political science professor, will visit the University of Maine for a Monday Dec. 8 lecture and panel discussion on contemporary Russian political affairs. The event is scheduled for 3-4:30 p.m. in 100 Donald P. Corbett Business Building.
“Thomas Remington is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on Russian political affairs in the English-speaking world,” says Prof. James Warhola of the UMaine Dept. of Political Science.
Remington, who has spoken twice at UMaine before, has published numerous works on post-Soviet Russian political affairs. He travels to Russia and other former Soviet republics on a regular basis to conduct research.
The Dec. 8 program will begin with a public lecture by Remington, who will focus on prospective U.S.-Russian relations under the Obama administration. A panel discussion featuring Remington and UMaine Adjunct Political Science Professors Seth Singleton and Paul Holman, will follow. Warhola, who, like Singleton and Holman, has extensive expertise in Russian affairs, will moderate the panel discussion.
This event is made possible by a grant from the University of Maine Distinguished Lecture Series & Cultural Affairs Committee.
