Listen: Pursuing the Rooseveltian Century

On 30 December - 1 January 2017, the RIAS hosted a major international conference dedicated to exploring the idea of a 'Rooseveltian century' in American and global history. In a series of 'keynote dialogues' some of the world's leading historians of the United States gave their interpretation of the significance of the Roosevelts, structured around four key themes: Security, Equality, Freedom, and Legacy.
