Prof. Motyl is deputy director of the Center for Global Change and Governance, and co-director of the Central and East European Studies Program, both at Rutgers - Newark. Seen at the reading (from left) are: Rutgers University Profs. Yale Ferguson, Mary Segers, Myroslava Znayenko, Alexander Motyl, George Repic and Margaret La Scala.
