The Fall 2018 Program

As the fellowship program of the American Academy in Berlin celebrates its twentieth anniversary, our fall 2018 program is filled with events and readings that continue the tradition of bringing outstanding American scholars and writers to Berlin for spirited exchange across a range of disciplines and subjects, from Afrofuturism to lethargy in the always-on digital age, from the responsibilities of American lawyers to the dynamics of Putin’s Russia. Download the fall 2018 program here, and sign up online for events as they are posted.
