States have long tried to influence one another, at times through subversive means. Today, reports of hacking and leaking, “fake news,“ rumors of foreign funding to extremist parties, and other similar tactics have caused alarm in Western democracies.

On December 6, we're inviting you to a lecture held by one of the most prominent Americanists today, Professor Donald E. Pease.

Prof. Pease directs the annual Futures of American Studies Institute at Dartmouth and is the editor of The New Americanist series, which has transformed the field of American studies. Some of his publications include Theodor Seuss Geisel, New American Exceptionalism, and many more.

Join the American Space Leipzig for a public screening of Free to Rock followed by a discussion with producer DOUG YEAGER, U.S. Consul General TIMOTHY EYDELNANT and SEBASTIAN HERRMANN from American Studies Leipzig.
