IOP Pritzker Fellow David Pressman on "Viktor Orban, Hungary & Political Imagination" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Monday, October 13 3:30-4:45pm The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban is described by some as a champion of conservative values and by others as a corrupt authoritarian. Fetishized by the American far right, Orban and Hungary occupy an outsized role in the American political imagination. Drawing on my service over the past few years as United States Ambassador to Hungary, this seminar will be a conversation about Orban’s Hungary, its relevance, and our response to democratic collapse. Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ella Kumano-Maloney (ikmaloney@uchicago.edu).
