This event will take stock of the past 365 days while confronting the possibilities—and uncertainties—of the next three years. Journalists and pundits often use the word unprecedented to characterize this administration, but are there surprising continuities with previous presidencies? How has Europe navigated the turbulence of the past year, and what prospects now face EU policymakers and citizens? How have Americans who voted for Trump experienced his promise to Make America Great Again this time around? And what are the implications for future elections? Join us for a critical conversation that examines where we are now—and where the world may be headed next.
SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
SPUI25 is one of the UvA podia in the University Quarter.
