Welcome to the Center for European Studies!

We 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 democracy and political participation, to populisms and nationalisms, and to refugees and the movement of peoples. We are also gearing up our focus on the environment and environmental action, in these pursuits also teaming up with centers and depts. across the university. 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!
