Inherit the Truth: Culture of Remembrance in German-American Encounters
About The Event
How do our cultures of remembrance differ, and what can Germans and Americans learn from each other? Join the German-American Heritage Museum for an insightful presentation with Martin Kaiser, director of the GSI Center for Civic Education, who will share his observations gleaned from his German-American exchange programs and his research.
Kaiser received a political science degree from the University of Bonn and a masterâs degree from the University of Kansas as a Fulbright scholar. In his research and study programs, he focuses on democracy education, diversity training, culture of remembrance, and antiracist education. For more than 25 years, he has been conducting German-American exchange programs. Cooperation partners in the U.S. have been universities and civil society organizations. In numerous publications, he combines the reflection of academic discourses with his experience in civic education and international encounters.
Kaiser will share his views based on four examples, two of which are in the United States with the other two being in Germany.
Registration is required for this free event.
