About this Event

"Alexander the Great: What new research tells us and why he still matters"

Alexander the Great lived over 2,300 years ago, but he still fascinates us. This talk examines his storied greatness, drawing on exciting new research and integrating diverse perspectives to show this larger-than-life figure as never before. It asks, in an age of ambitious, competitive, and brutally effective political leaders, what made him stand out? How can we reconstruct the untold stories of the people who made him what he was? And what makes this long-dead historical figure relevant for today’s world? Dr. Kousser offers a behind-the-scenes look at her research process, key discoveries, and writing journey — which, like Alexander’s, was not a heroic solo endeavor but instead a group effort, and particularly a partnership.

Please join us for Dr. Kousser's talk that will take place in the Hixson-Lied Auditorium in the Harper Center on Creighton University's campus. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and the lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m.
