"Cultures of Democracy? Germany and the USA at Home and Abroad"
University of Wisconsin, Madison
October 19 to 20, 2007
In October, the Center for German and European Studies (CGES) celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an international two-day conference entitled “Cultures of Democracy? Germany and the USA at Home and Abroad”. This landmark event brought together CGES faculty from its partner sites at UW-Madison and University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with notable scholars from across the USA, Germany, and Europe.
Thirty conference participants presented two-day’s worth of paper and panel discussions which highlighted the breadth and depth of recent and current CGES scholarship and research, and looked ahead to the successful development of new research collaboratives. The interdisciplinary breadth of the Center’s research was well demonstrated with panels addressing a wide range of themes including democracy in the EU, issues of national identity and gender, language and immigration, social transformation, the welfare state, media, human rights, and war and peace.
