In Unsettling Times: An Effort in Understanding
The Transregional Center for Democratic Studies (TCDS) is proud to announce the startling fact that its upcoming Democracy & Diversity Institute will mark its 25th anniversary. It will be held at The New School summer campus in Wrocław, Poland, from July 5-21, 2016. Through a happy coincidence, Wroclaw has been chosen this year as a Cultural Capital of Europe! The D&D Institute, widely admired as an intimate international forum for lively but rigorous debate on critical issues of democratic life, brings an interdisciplinary, comparative, and highly interactive approach to the social, political, and cultural challenges facing today’s world. This year for our 25th Anniversary session we will be hosting a very special series of lectures and events featuring some of today’s major scholars and public intellectuals, among them two iconic philosophers, Agnes Heller and Richard Bernstein. Please consider joining us!
