341 Eggers Hall

Conflict between states or actors belonging to different identity groups is often accompanied by sharply divergent historical narratives about responsibility for past wrongs. In this paper, we present a model for how cooperation can occur, even when states disagree about the past. We consider this model of cooperation with a case study of the current context of U.S.-Russian relations since the Crimea crisis.

Yoshiko M. Herrera is Professor of Political Science at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work focuses on politics in Russia; social identities and norms; nationalism, xenophobia, and ethnic politics; and constructivist political economy.

Lunch will be served.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
