Transregional Center for Democratic Studies
Recognizing that democracy is not inevitable, and that its future is far from certain – the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies is dedicated to an interdisciplinary examination of democratic theory and practice, with the principle of open, rational, public debate by citizens at its core. As a commitment to dialogue has been at the very heart of all our projects, we keep an eye on the vibrancy of the public square as an indispensable incubator and maintainer of democracy, but also as a site that is vulnerable to erosion by the politics of distrust, nativism, resentment, and exclusion.
Vera List Center for Art and Politics
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics is a research center and a public forum for art, culture, and politics. The Center champions the arts as expressions of the political moments from which they emerge, and consider the intersection between art and politics the space where new forms of civic engagement must be developed.
Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility
The Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility provides a forum for research and scholarship, policy debate, and discussion with activists and artists around issues of global migration and mobility, their economic impact, political consequences and their meaning for issues of citizenship and identity.
