The seminar "American Futures" takes a deep dive into iconic and popular images and narratives of American Culture. How have progress, futures and encounters been described, dreamed about and feared in popular novels, tv shows and overall narratives? How can we draw parallels between these cultural products and current political and societal developments in the United States? Experts will introduce concepts and themes, for example the American Wild West, Climate Narratives or Star Trek, to participants and provide teachers with background information on the topics and how they can be discussed against the current backdrop of American decline and disruption.

The seminar is geared towards teachers, yet we welcome members of the public to participate!
