Tartu University
The theme of Dr McCann’s lecture was “Post-Truth Society and the Case for Europe”, which surveyed changing attitudes to European integration and reflected on the aspirations of those who articulated the ideal for a new Europe in the post-war period. Twenty different countries were represented at the conference with dozens of universities sending academics to participate in the three-day series of talks and seminars. Tartu was chosen for the venue given the heightening of political and military tensions between Russia and the Baltic States.
Dr McCann’s keynote speech will be published in a collection by Państwowa Wyższa Szkoła Zawodowa w Krośnie later this year.
