Coffee & Conversation: Germany's Challenges and Future in the European Union
Membership Drive
Germany’s modern history has been exceptionally turbulent since the country has caused two world wars, carries the legacy and guilt of the Holocaust and has been re-united after a 4-decade long division into two states with two different political systems. Today a reunited Germany ranks among the leaders of the European Union. However, Russia’s war against Ukraine has again turned the geopolitical times for Germany as it put into question many dearly held German beliefs regarding international relations in general, and Berlin’s Eastern Europe facing Ostpolitik in particular. Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the invasion of Ukraine a Zeitenwende, a turning point in post-war European history and German foreign policy. Is this the dawn of a more assertive German foreign policy? A true Zeitenwende for Europe and transatlantic security cooperation with Germany leading the way?

Re-evaluating the most hated Queen of France
Life and Death of Marie Antoinette
In 1770, the 14-year-old Austrian archduchess Maria Antonia, youngest daughter of famous Empress Maria Theresa, left Vienna for Versailles to marry the future king Louis XVI. As Marie Antoinette, she spent the next two decades at the most splendid court of Europe, initially admired as the personification of 18th-century French royal style. However, by the time she died under the blade of the guillotine at the age of 38 during the French Revolution, she was loathed like no Queen of France had ever been. This lecture, with images and film clips, brings Marie Antoinette to life. From a teenage girl plagued by marital difficulties that subjected her to public ridicule, to a young woman who allegedly engaged in a scandalous extra-marital affair with a dashing Swedish nobleman, to a controversial Queen who ultimately ended up vilified as l'Autrichienne whose frivolous extravagance and foreign sympathies fired the French Revolution.
