Henry L. Stimson Lectures on World Affairs
Created in 1998 to honor Yale alumnus Henry L. Stimson, an attorney and statesman whose government service culminated with his tenure as U.S. secretary of war during World War II, the Stimson Lecture Series brings to campus distinguished diplomats and foreign policy experts who have published books with Yale University Press.
Mary Sarotte, the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Distinguished Professor of Historical Studies at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, delivered the Henry L. Stimson Lectures on World Affairs in September 2022. This series of lectures, based on her book Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate from Yale University Press, detailed the diplomacy and tension between the U.S., NATO, and Russia regarding the expansion of NATO during the post-Soviet period.
