Webcasts: Exploring 9/11

This webcast series explores the continuing impact of 9/11 on the United States and the global community. In these interviews, scholars and experts articulate a wide range of views on 9/11, its origins, and its ramifications. While they do not always agree with one another, we hope you will use these diverse perspectives to reflect on 9/11 and its continued – and sometimes contested – relevance.

Each interview is accompanied by a study guide for the classroom. Return every month for new interview segments.
