December 18, 2024 • 58 mins

How is the Shoah addressed in museums? How do museums extend the commemoration of this singular rupture in the history of humankind to other genocides?

On December 12, Dr. Leora Auslander and Dr. Mirjam Wenzel explored these questions and more at the Goethe Institut Chicago.

Colonialism and Its Impact on Political Solidarity Today - Dr. Emily Marker and Dr. Monica van der Haagen-Wulff

December 6, 2024 • 64 mins

After the end of World War II, European nations promoted European unification as a “peace project.” What remained largely ignored was the obligation resulting from the colonial past of countries like Germany, France, and Great Britain.

Cohesion and Resilience in Community and Society - Dr. Clara van den Berg and Dr. Leah Gose

December 3, 2024 • 60 mins

Radical Universalism - Omri Boehm

October 25, 2024 • 64 mins
