Marking significant anniversaries of pivotal moments in history, “Landmarks” assembles leading scholars and thinkers to reconsider how such events have shaped the modern world. 去年春天，普利策奖得主艾伦·泰勒重新思考了1812年的战争。
The series continues with three events–open to the public–for 2012-13. On 2012年10月17日，星期三，晚上7点, a distinguished panel will discuss the Cuban Missile crisis fifty years after the crisis of October brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. In February, a panel including Edward Muir of Northwestern University and Michael Ignatieff, former leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, will consider the influence of Nicolo Machiavelli five hundred years after the publication of 王子. 今年3月，俄克拉何马大学的大卫·查佩尔教授将调查马丁·路德·金的遗产。
