The Fall 2024 Program

From the origins of the war in Ukraine to the meaning of Germany’s Zeitenwende, from the quest for good judgement to the art of fiction, from the 2024 presidential election to the future of US democracy, the Academy’s fall 2024 program is brimming with topics to keep you intellectually nourished throughout the fall. We hope you’ll sign up for our events  on the Wannsee, throughout Berlin, and indeed throughout Germany this fall. We look forward to welcoming you!
