in the seminar room of the Graduate School.
The Interdisciplinary Forum at the GSNAS is a network of young scholars at the doctoral as well as the postdoctoral level and hosts workshops in which members present and discuss their work. Their research shares a focus on the North American continent and related transnational fields of research, such as transatlantic relations or the Pacific Rim. The network consists of researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds including cultural studies, political science, sociology, literary studies, economics, and history. This interdisciplinary approach is part of a conscious effort to overcome disciplinary divisions in order to enrich critical thinking and rearticulate our modes of interrogation and analysis.
JFKI Flickr Fotostream
Be sure to check out the JFK Institute’s very own Flickr Fotostream, where Prof. Wenzel regularly posts photos of various events. Recent additions include the 50-year anniversary celebrations and the 2013 graduation party. See if you can spot yourself. Or otherwise just enjoy how great our institute looks in hi-res (..not sure if this is the right term. The photos are pretty great is what I mean to say). Enjoy:

Zehn Mythen zur Staatsverschuldung
Drei Vorgänge haben die öffentliche Debatte über das schon lange virulente Streitthema Staatsschulden angeheizt: die weltweite Explosion der Staatsverschuldung als Folge der schweren Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2007/08, die davon nicht unabhängige Verankerung der „Schuldenbremse“ im Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2009 und die Schuldenkrise einiger Eurostaaten seit 2010. Sind aber die Annahmen und Einschätzungen, dass Staatsschulden etwas Schlechtes sind – wie sie mehrheitlich von den Medien, politischen Entscheidungsträgern und auch von Wissenschaftlern vertreten werden – wirklich zutreffend? Diskutieren Sie mit Prof. Holtfrerich zehn Mythen der Staatsverschuldung!
