We are very pleased to announce that the 29th<\/sup> annual Democracy & Diversity <\/em>Summer Institute<\/strong>,<\/em> organized annually by the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies of the New School for Social Research, will take place this year from July 6th<\/sup> to July 20th<\/sup><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conducted for three decades in Krakow, Cape Town, Wroclaw and Johannesburg, this year\u2019s Institute will \u201ctake place\u201d as a borderless, transregional online site<\/strong> providing a forum for forward-looking debate on unprecedented challenges that now threaten our lives wherever we live. The central theme of the Institute is Reinventing Our Future. <\/em>The opening address will be delivered by the 2019 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, Olga Tokarczuk of Wroclaw.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer we offer three intensive graduate seminars, which \u2014 along with distinguished guests\u2019 talks, evening conversations, and micro-events \u2014 are designed to explore issues of social justice and the widespread dismantling of democracy and to illuminate the emergence of new social actors. Each interdisciplinary, comparative, and interactive course offers the equivalent of semester-length credits at the New School for Social Research. As with our regular on-site, in-person Institutes, even under this year\u2019s exceptional circumstances we intend above all to create a community of civic-minded junior scholars that will be sustained well after the completion of the institute itself as part of a growing and thriving transregional network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We very much hope that you will be able to join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
