Roundtable discussion with Aleida Assmann (Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c., Emerita Professor of English Literature, | University of Konstanz) and Susan Neiman (Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c., Director, Einstein Forum | Berlin).
The UCD Humanities Institute is delighted to open registration for a roundtable discussion with these two world-renowned public intellectuals who have made significant public interventions in the ongoing debate on democracy and its institutions, misinformation, anti-Semitism, the war in Gaza, the rise of the far right and the need for a cultural memory that is responsive to global polycrises.
We will discuss the need for critical cultural memory in response to revisionist agendas, while also exploring new approaches that reflect the diverse make-up of contemporary societies.
Time: 4.30pm
Venue: HI Seminar Room (H204 / top floor)
