This virtual event explores the fascinating intersection of football, history, and social identity with leading Financial Times columnist and author Simon Kuper. In conversation with University of the Fraser Valley professor Dr. Sebastian Huebel, Kuper will bridge the gap between his seminal works Ajax, The Dutch, The War: Football in Europe During the Second World War (2003) and World Cup Fever: A Footballing Journey in Nine Tournaments (2026) exploring the power of football and sport in both historical and contemporary societies.
