Program
As part of the American Academy's public program, each week we offer public lectures, concerts, screenings, or readings by Academy fellows, distinguished visitors, and special guests. Most evening lectures take place at the Hans Arnhold Center, but the Academy also partners with a handful of cultural institutions in Berlin for special events: Radialsytem V, the JFK Institut of the Freie Universität Berlin, Kino Babylon, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the United States Embassy, and the Hertie School of Governance, among others.
If you would like to attend an event, please register online, or send an email to program@americanacademy.de. Seating is limited, so please register well in advance of the lecture or event you would like to attend. We look forward to welcoming you at the Hans Arnhold Center.
Next Event
Europe and the Nation State
The convulsions of the last decade have profoundly disoriented European integration scholarship. Integration has always entailed "more Europe," but it has never entailed autonomous democratic and constitutional legitimacy. For that, national institutions have remained crucial. In his book Power and Legitimacy: Reconciling Europe and the Nation State, Peter Lindseth offers a historical synthesis to understand integration as an extension of administrative governance. His lecture will explore the implications of integration moving forward. Moderated by Ingolf Pernice, the chair of Public, International, and European Law at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
