The 2013 Olin speaker is Professor Fredrik Logevall, the John S. Knight Professor of International Studies and Professor of History at Cornell, where he serves as director of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. On July 1, 2013, he will become Cornell’s vice provost for international relations.
