In conversation with Joshua Yaffa, journalist for The New Yorker and BCB Writer-in-Residence, she discussed how class, gender, race, age, and geography shape political allegiances, and what this means for democracies in the U.S. and Europe.

BCB students had a chance to attend this lecture as part of the “Writing Democracy" event series with the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Novelist Matthias Nawrat recently visited Dr. Martin Widmann’s new Historical Fiction seminar for a conversation about his work. Nawrat is the recipient of this year’s prestigious Berliner Literaturpreis, among other accolades. 📚

In an intimate and lively exchange with the students, Nawrat spoke about the composition of his recent historical novel 'Das glückliche Schicksal,' his poetics, and his understanding of the novelist’s task when working with historical material, as compared to contemporary topics. He also discussed his own work in translation, notably his 2019 novel 'The Sad Guest' (Der traurige Gast) from which students had read an excerpt.

The 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees has turned 75 years old this year, often designated as the “Magna Carta of refugee protection.” 📜 Roland Bank, head of the protection work of UNHCR in Germany, recently delivered a guest lecture at Bard College Berlin discussing the pressure the Convention has faced in recent years as violations of European and international refugee law seem to have become more acceptable.

Bank's talk asked students and audience members to consider the question, "Is the Convention still relevant, or is it outdated and in need of revision?" ⚖️
