Victoria SmolkinA Sacred Space Is Never Empty: A History of Soviet Atheism

The O’Connell Initiative on the Global History of Capitalism is delighted to bring Dr. Victoria Smolkin (Wesleyan University) to Fordham University, South Lounge, Lincoln Center Campus to discuss her paper: “A Sacred Space Is Never Empty: A History of Soviet Atheism.”

The O’Connell Initiative for the Global History of Capitalism is a forum for intellectual exploration. It brings together scholars of every aspect of capitalism, from its earliest medieval manifestations to its twenty-first-century consequences across the globe. It supports groundbreaking research and teaching on global capitalism and engages with the public through lectures, debates, and workshops.

The O’Connell Initiative in the Global History of Capitalism is supported by generous gifts from Fordham alumnus Robert J. O’Connell, FCRH ‘65.
