Fifty years ago, on November 24, 1972, the first conference on German-Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt’s work was held in Toronto, resulting in her only visit to the city. The Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies marks the 50th anniversary of this historical conference with a one-day workshop. Faculty, graduate students, and postdocs at Toronto universities will revisit the “work of Hannah Arendt” in three interdisciplinary thematic panels.
