Levin Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University, where he also serves as faculty advisor for the Fortunoff Video Archive of Holocaust Testimonies. As a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, he co-founded Documenting Ukraine, which supports Ukrainian scholars, journalists, and artists as they chronicle war. He chairs the academic council of Ukrainian History Global Initiative, a multiyear, interdisciplinary, and international project on the deep history of the country. He also teaches in the seminar Reading the Other at the Borderland Foundation in Krasnogruda, Poland. Snyder has received a number of distinctions, including state orders from several countries. He has appeared in documentaries and other films, and does regular television, radio, and other media work. His twenty books include Bloodlands, Black Earth, On Tyranny, and The Road to Unfreedom, and most recently On Freedom, to be published this September.  His work, appearing in forty languages, has inspired poster campaigns, films, sculpture, a punk rock song, a rap song, a play, and an opera. His words are quoted in protests around the world.
