What is the state of liberal democratic society in the USA in 2025? Are freedom of speech and freedom of the press in danger of being autocratically undermined? And what about freedom of information when the list of books that are banned from schools and libraries is getting longer and longer? These and similar questions will be discussed on this evening with three experts on America.

On Wednesday, 22 May 2024, the official opening of the newly founded cross-faculty KMG – Collegium Modern and Contemporary Studies took place in the Schelling Forum of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Here you can find a report on the event.
