The writings and vision of Primo Levi are reconsidered in the light of his positions as a public and political figure through conversations, lectures, and film screening. Why is Levi been rediscovered by a younger generation of readers and how does his secular humanism resonate in today's global crisis? Centro Primo Levi invites you to join world experts and emerging scholars for an enticing series of debates and presentations held in collaboration with New York University Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò and the Italian Cultural Institute.
Speakers: Franco Baldasso (New York University), Uri Cohen (Columbia University), Sergio Parussa (Wesley College), Luigi Dei (University of Florence), Robert Weil (WW Norton), Andrea Fiano (Centro Primo Levi), Marc Greif (American Prospect, London Review of Books), Moni Ovadia (actor and playwright).
