Heike Paul participates in a panel discussion with Volker Depkat (Regensburg University) on the upcoming US election. The panel is organized by the Bavarian American Academy and will take place at Amerikahaus Munich, on Monday, October 14, 2024. The discussion aims to provide a cultural-historical context for the current election, with a view to the enduring relevance of American myths - from the founding to past conflicts like the Civil War - and how they relate to American democracy - including possible dangers to it at this moment in time and, from a wider perspective, after the election and its possible outcomes. The official title of this event in German is "Die US-Wahl in ihren kultur-historischen Kontexten: Geschichten, Mythen, Perspektiven" ('The US election in its cultural-historical contexts: stories, myths, perspectives').
