SUMMARY:The Future of History: Have We Reached the End of History Again?
DESCRIPTION:Miloš Jovanović\, David N. Myers\, Natasha Piano\, and Terry Tang \n \n  \nIntroducing a new multi-part series on “The Future of History\,” co-presented by the Wende Museum and the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nThis panel revisits the conclusion of political scientist Francis Fukuyama in his 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man\, that we have reached “the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.” Today\, we are forced to ask whether the rise of illiberal authoritarianism marks a new end of history. \nHow should we think about the next phase of history? As part of an unfolding journey into the future\, or as the beginning of the end? \nMiloš Jovanović is Assistant Professor of History at UCLA. His first book\, Cities of Dust and Mud: Urbanism and Bourgeois Fantasy in the Balkans (Stanford University Press\, 2026)\, explores the social costs of elite-led urban change. His new research project\, Spaces of Empire: The Habsburg World and its Afterlives\, examines the diverse trajectories of urban spaces after imperial collapse. \nDavid N. Myers is Distinguished Professor of History and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA. He is the founding director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also directs the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate\, the UCLA Dialogue Across Difference Initiative\, and the UCLA Bedari Kindness Institute. He is the author or editor of more than fifteen books\, including American Shtetl (winner of the 2022 National Jewish Book Award). \nNatasha Piano is Assistant Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Political Science at UCLA. She specializes in democratic theory and the history of political thought\, focusing on realist and empirical traditions in political science and Italian political theory. Her book\, Democratic Elitism: The Founding Myth of American Political Science (Harvard University Press\, 2025)\, examines how misinterpretations of elite theory shaped American political systems. \nTerry Tang is Executive Editor of the Los Angeles Times. Appointed in 2024\, she is the first female editor in the paper’s history. Before joining the Los Angeles Times in 2019\, she served as director of publications and editorial at the American Civil Liberties Union and held multiple editorial roles at The New York Times. She holds a BA from Yale and a JD from New York University School of Law. \nAs the Wende’s galleries will be open during this program\, you may enter through the front doors of the museum. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry. \n  \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:The Future of History in the Public Sphere
DESCRIPTION:Program update: Anthea Hartig is no longer able to appear. Justin Jampol\, our founder and executive director\, will take her place on the panel. The program is on as scheduled and is sold out. \nThe third installment of The Future of History series\, presented through the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende in conjunction with the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nHistory does not only live in books and classrooms. It lives in museums\, libraries\, and archives\, where institutions work to keep the past within reach of everyone. That work now faces real threats: growing indifference and inattention\, misinformation and disinformation\, bold revisionism\, and the rising specter of artificial intelligence as the final arbiter of historical truth. \nThis conversation will feature renowned leaders of local and national institutions committed to imparting historical knowledge to a wide public. What are the challenges of the current political\, cultural\, and technological moment? Can the work of producing reliable and meaningful historical knowledge weather the storm? \nStephen Aron is President and CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West and Professor of History\, Emeritus\, at UCLA. A historian of frontiers\, borderlands\, and the American West\, he has long worked to bridge academic and public history. \nAnthea M. Hartig is the Elizabeth MacMillan Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History\, the first woman to hold the post since the museum opened in 1964. An award-winning public historian\, she previously led the California Historical Society. \nJessie Kornberg is President and CEO of the Skirball Cultural Center\, which she has led since 2020. She came to the role after two decades in civil rights and public-interest law\, including as CEO of the legal aid organization Bet Tzedek. \nDavid N. Myers (moderator) is Distinguished Professor of History at UCLA and served as founding director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy (2017-2026). He convenes The Future of History series. \nTawny Paul (opening remarks) is Director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy and a social and economic historian of Britain and the Atlantic World. Her public history work focuses on collaborative history-making and reaching wide audiences. \nAbout the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende: This series is made possible through the extraordinary generosity of Meyer and Renee Luskin\, visionary philanthropists whose support has advanced groundbreaking research and community engagement across Los Angeles and beyond. Through their commitment to education\, policy innovation\, and public history\, the Luskins have transformed institutions such as UCLA\, where the Luskin Center for History and Policy is pioneering efforts to apply historical analysis to contemporary challenges. Their dedication to fostering knowledge and civic dialogue ensures that history remains a vital resource in shaping a more just and informed society. \nRSVP required.
