University of California, Berkeley
Berkeley, USA
The University of Berkeley was founded in 1869 as the ‘flagship’ of the University of California system. Its long tradition of critical ‘intellectual history’ gives it a distinctive profile, especially in the field of humanities. The partnership between Konstanz and Berkley involves primarily the Department of German, including events on topics such as migration, globalization, and post-colonialism under the rubric “Cultural Forms in Transit”, some of which transcend the boundaries of individual departments.
