Foredragsrække og seminarer i efteråret 2024
Den 5. november er der præsidentvalg i USA. Derfor lancerer Center for Amerikanske Studier en række foredrag og seminarer under overskriften: The Soul of a Polarized Nation: The U.S. Presidential Election 2024 and the Outlook for American Democracy.
Det giver mulighed for at opnå dybe indblik i, hvad der sker i USA politisk og kulturelt. Programmet løber af stablen i efteråret i form af en række aktiviteter med deltagelse af prominente amerikanske historikere, forfattere og kommentatorer. Hele programmet sponsoreres af Den Amerikanske Ambassade i København.
Alle foredrag er åbne for alle interesserede.
NB! Kommer I som et hold eller klasse fra gymnasiet, så kontakt Caroline Zoffmann Jessen for at booke pladser til foredraget.
