Join us on November 5 for a lively evening filled with voices from the worlds of science and culture, happening at 6 pm at the Alte Feuerwache in Mannheim on US election night. Leading the evening's proceedings will be Professor Dr. Stefanie Schäfer, holder of the Chair of American Literary and Cultural Studies, along with Prof. Dr. Philipp Gassert, holder of the Chair of Contemporary History at the University of Mannheim. A panel of specialists from American studies, contemporary history, and political science will begin by analyzing the events and deliberate on possible future implications. Participants in the discussion panel include:
• Cultural scientist Prof. Dr. Henk de Berg (University of Sheffield)
• Specialist in American studies Dr. Isabel Kalous (University of Erlangen)

Among the highlights of the evening is a science slam scheduled to begin at 7 pm. A quartet of scholars will showcase their findings on American political culture, infused with humor and charisma. Students representing the University of Mannheim will share their insights via posters and will be available for interactive discussions. And starting at 8pm, visitors can put their knowledge to the test in a pub quiz.
This event is hosted with support from the alumni association of the university, ABSOLVENTUM Mannheim, along with the Baden-Württemberg State Center for Political Education.
