The Center for Global Culture and Communication (CGCC), along with Central European University (CEU) and Center for Transcultural Studies (CTS), is co-sponsoring a week-long summer school titled “Dismantling Democracy from Within.”The summer school will take place on CEU’s Budapest campus from June 27 to July 2, 2022. For more information on the program, please visit the Summer School’s website.
The “Dismantling Democracy from Within” summer school advances the twin mission of understanding the critical challenges democracy is facing and developing the democratic agendas that will meet these challenges under variable cultural and socio-economic conditions. Such a mission can only be secured by facilitating a robust dialogue among students, activists, and scholars assembled from all over the world. Students will leave the Summer School with a deeper knowledge of the specific challenges facing democracy in different contexts as well as a global understanding of how they are connected.
Given CGCC’s role in the Summer School, a minimum of two Northwestern graduate students will be admitted. Interested students should apply through the application portal on the Summer School’s website and then email Dilip Gaonkar (d-gaonkar@northwestern.edu) to indicate that they have applied.
The application deadline is February 28, 2022. Once admitted, all costs related to participation will be covered by the organizers.
