DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The recent attack on the U.S. Capitol and incidents in other Western democracies – such as the attempt to storm the Reichstag building in Berlin in August 2020 – demonstrate how fragile our democracies are.

SUMMARY:The Covid Crisis\, Economic Insecurity\, and the Impact on Women in Germany and the United States
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The corona virus crisis disrupted the lives of millions of people in Europe and the U.S. Beginning in March\, non-essential businesses were closed\, workers were furloughed or laid off – or in Germany subject to Kurzarbeit. In the U.S. schools and daycare centers were shuttered. In Germany and the U.S.\, families struggle to come to terms with home schooling. In short\, COVID-19 has disrupted the labor market and education – and this has had disastrous consequences for working women and their families. \nJoin the American Council on Germany and the Heidelberg University Association for an online discussion regarding the economic impact of the COVID crisis on women in the United States and Germany. Prof. Dr. Christiane Schwieren\, Professor of Economics at the Alfred Weber Institute at Heidelberg University\, and Julie Kashen\, Senior Fellow and Director for Women’s Economic Justice at The Century Foundation\, will join German television journalist Birte Meier (2009 ACG Kellen Fellow) to discuss the challenges facing women in the pandemic.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F2016113367327%2FWN_bzrfPlGESx6n7f18CN6q9g” css=”.vc_custom_1611336773511{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Julie Kashen is a Senior Fellow and Director for Women’s Economic Justice at The Century Foundation\, with expertise in work and family\, caregiving\, economic mobility\, and labor.

SUMMARY:What Can Europe Expect from the Biden Administration?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Europe has high hopes for President-elect Joe Biden. But\, what can Europeans realistically expect from a Biden administration? As a minimum\, there will be a change in tone\, greater civility\, and predictability in an increasingly uncertain environment. For many Europeans\, Joe Biden is a known quantity. Foreign policy is part of his DNA. He understands how diplomacy functions\, knows how to work across ideological lines\, and recognizes that security and economic growth are more easily achieved through international collaboration. \nUpon taking office\, Joe Biden has a long to-do list at home and abroad. He will renew America’s commitment to multilateralism – specifically through NATO and the UN – and he will seek to bring the United States back into the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iranian nuclear deal. However\, much of his attention will be focused on bringing together a divided country and addressing the simultaneous public health\, economic\, and social justice crises. \nJoin the American Council on Germany and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung for a virtual discussion about how the Biden Administration’s domestic agenda might impact its foreign policy priorities – and what Europe can expect from the new government. After welcoming remarks from Paul Linnarz\, Director of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s U.S. office\, the following panelists will speak: \nDr. Charles Kupchan\, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Professor of International Affairs at Georgetown University \nProf. Dr. Norbert Lammert\, Chairman of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and former President of the German Bundestag \nRobin Wright\, Columnist at The New Yorker\, Distinguished Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center\, and Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace \n  \nModerator: Dr. Steven E.
