DEMOKRACJA CZY AUTORYTARYZM? PO AMERYKAŃSKICH WYBORACH

Zapraszamy na debatę online, której gospodarzami będą Uniwersytet Jagielloński i Konferencja Ambasadorów RP. Wydarzenie odbędzie się w piątek, 27 listopada o godzinie 17.00, a jej celem jest ocena skutków elekcji prezydenckich 3.11 w USA dla sojuszników i antagonistów Stanów Zjednoczonych. Będzie więc dyskusja o tym, co może znaczyć wybór Joe Bidena i Kamali Harris dla Unii Europejskiej, NATO, Rosji czy Chin.

Gościem specjalnym konferencji (keynote speaker) będzie były premier, przewodniczący Rady Europejskiej, a obecnie przewodniczący Europejskiej Partii Ludowej Donald Tusk. Wypowiedzą się także wybitni dyplomaci, którzy spędzili lata w służbie zagranicznej.

Jaki będzie świat w najbliższych latach? Czy powinniśmy się bać, czy raczej cieszyć? Mamy nadzieję, że nasze spotkanie dostarczy Państwu i wiedzy i emocji.

April 3: Gatekeeping, Paranoid Professionalism, and Redefining Literacy: How US Librarians Fought, Found, and Loved Comic Books

March 20, 2025

We are pleased to invite you to the third lecture of the American Studies Colloquium Series in the 2025 Spring semester! In this talk, we will look at how US librarians fought against comic books as though libraries were the last line of defense in a vital war. We will examine the existential threat that librarians perceived comics to pose in the mid-century and the gradual, nervous thawing of that opposition in the 1970s and 1980s.
