February 29, 2024 | This is the first of three webinars in advance of the Georgetown Global Dialogues (GGD). In conversations with GGD fellows and other leading thinkers, Pankaj Mishra is exploring some of the questions we will be addressing on campus in April in their wider historical context.

Many of today's global divides along national, ideological, cultural, religious, racial, and ideological lines have deep historical roots. At the same time, history reveals many periods of constructive coexistence—from Al-Andalus in Iberia to phases of the Ottoman and Mughal empires, and beyond. A better understanding of the historical dynamics of coexistence can help us think through and cope with the deep divisions in our contemporary world.

What have been the preconditions for constructive coexistence in the past? Do different world regions hold different historical lessons? Can we draw on historical experience—as well as the resources of our diverse traditions—to imagine and implement effective and peaceful ways to deal with inevitable differences on a global scale? Mohsid Hamid, Ranjit Hoskote, and Ece Temelkuran will reflect on these questions in an online conversation moderated by Pankaj Mishra.
