This Too Shall Burn: America in the Age of Wood

A presentation from 2024–2025 Radcliffe fellow Daniel Immerwahr

Daniel Immerwahr, a historian, is the Bergen Evans Professor in the Humanities at Northwestern University and the author, most recently, of How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019). At Radcliffe, he’ll research a book about the United States’ historical relationship with wood and fire.

We plan to post the recording on our website one week after the event.
