On Tuesday, October 16, the department hosted the first Inklings gathering of the semester. Dr. Ionut Popescu, gave a talk on “The Rise of Offensive Realism in American Grand Strategy.” The talk was followed by a discussion with the faculty and graduate students.
The department’s “Inklings” gatherings take their name from a small group of intellectuals (whose ranks included J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis) who met weekly at Oxford University in the early and middle decades of the 20th century to read aloud and discuss their works in progress.
