[JFKI-News] Invitation to a talk / July 6

[History-ZI JfKi <history@jfki.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear members and friends of the JFKI, dear students,

 

We cordially invite you to a talk by Giles Scott-Smith (Leiden University) on "Transatlantic Cultural Relations, Soft Power, and the Role of US Cultural Diplomacy in Europe”

 

The event will take place as a part of the MA colloquium of the History Department online via Webex on July 6, 2020, 6.15 pm-7.15 pm.

 

Giles Scott-Smith will give a talk on his article "Transatlantic Cultural Relations, Soft Power, and the Role of US Cultural Diplomacy in Europe". This article considers the cultural relationship in the transatlantic space from the perspective of US cultural diplomacy. It interprets cultural diplomacy as the mobilization of soft power resources in the support of foreign policy goals, as distinct from the cultural relations pursued by non-state actors.

 

Since the amount of spots is limited, please, register at yulia.maximenkova@fu-berlin.de.

Best regards,
