Robert Kragalott Lecture on Genocide, Mass Atrocity, and Human Rights
Dr. Robert Kragalott
Ohio Wesleyan's annual Kragalott Lecture honors the career, contributions, and memory of Robert Kragalott, Ph.D., a professor in the OWU Department of History from 1964 to 1991.
Kragalott's scholarly interests included Russian and Yugoslavian history, and he researched and published on the Treaty of Versailles.
The lecture series was endowed with a gift from 1969 OWU graduate Carroll P. "Pete" Kakel III, Ph.D., a research historian and lecturer. Dr. Kakel's gift honors the career, contributions and memory of Dr. Robert Kragalott with the hope that the Kragalott lectures will encourage audiences to engage in the past.
