Welcome to the Center for European Studies!

PLEASE NOTE: all spring 2021 events will take place virtually!  Recordings of most events will be available upon request.

We still have a terrific series of talks, panels, and workshops scheduled for this year that promise to shed new light on a rapidly changing Europe, through attention to its present, past, and future! Our events stretch across the subcontinent and beyond, indeed asking “what is Europe?”  We continue our attention to forms of political participation and influence, from above and below, and questions of Europe in the world; as well as events concerning  austerity, authoritarianism, and borders in the time of COVID; and racialization in Europe, past and present.  We will continue offerings too particularly oriented toward those who are—and are thinking about becoming!--European Studies majors and minors.  We look forward to your participation—and ideas!  Come join us!
