Since its ratification in 1787, the U.S. Constitution has been the foundation of American democracy, defining its legal and political framework. As power dynamics shift and legal disputes shape the national landscape, fundamental questions about the strength of democratic institutions arise. How resilient is the U.S. Constitution in times of political and societal change? How independent is the judiciary? What challenges do constitutional norms face in an era of increasing polarization?

Law professor Kimberly Wehle will explore the role of the Supreme Court, the limits of executive power, and the broader implications for democracy. As a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, she researches and teaches constitutional law, civil procedure, administrative law, and the federal courts, including the Supreme Court. Join us for an in-depth discussion on the enduring strength—and potential vulnerabilities—of America’s founding document.


With: Kimberly Wehle, University of Baltimore
In cooperation with: University Stuttgart (Institute of Economics and Law), The United Nations Association of Germany

Professor Kimberly Wehle 

is a law professor, bestselling author, and prominent legal analyst focused on constitutional law, civil procedure, and administrative law. As former federal prosecutor and Associate Independent Counsel, she contributes to major media outlets including ABC, The Atlantic, and NPR. Wehle’s scholarship and books make complex legal concepts accessible to the public, and she regularly appears on national news to explain key issues in American democracy and the rule of law.

Mit der Rückkehr von Donald Trump verschärft sich die US-Politik an der Grenze zu Mexiko erneut: Massenhafte Abschiebungen, ein radikaler Kurswechsel in der Asylpolitik – selbst für Geflüchtete aus sozialistischen Diktaturen – und der ausgerufene Notstand prägen die Lage vor Ort.

Trump rechtfertigt sein Vorgehen mit dem Kampf gegen illegale Migration und Drogenkartelle aus Lateinamerika. Doch wie groß ist deren Einfluss wirklich? Welche Folgen hat seine Politik für Mexiko und Nordamerika? Und welche globalen Auswirkungen hätte ein möglicher Rückzug der USA aus der UN?


Mit: Siegfried Herzog, Regionalbüroleiter Lateinamerika der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit

Seit seinem Amtsantritt nutzt Donald Trump Zölle gezielt als wirtschaftliches und politisches Druckmittel – mitunter gegen China, Kanada und der EU. Doch welche Ziele verfolgt diese Strategie? Geht es tatsächlich um den Schutz amerikanischer Arbeitsplätze, oder stehen dabei geopolitische Interessen im Vordergrund?

Die ersten Folgen dieser Handelspolitik sind bereits spürbar: zunehmende Handelskonflikte, ein schwächelnder Arbeitsmarkt und eine sinkende Konsumstimmung in den USA. Was erwartet uns jetzt? Welche weiteren Auswirkungen wird diese Entwicklung auf die US-Wirtschaft, deutsche Unternehmen und den transatlantischen Handel haben?

Popstars wie Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish und Janelle Monáe mischen sich in die Politik ein und inspirieren Millionen. Doch können sie auch Wahlen entscheiden?

In diesem multimedialen Vortrag beleuchtet die Kulturjournalistin Vanessa Schneider, wie der Mainstream-Pop politisch wurde, welche Rolle Musiker*innen in Wahlkämpfen spielen und wo die Grenzen ihres Aktivismus liegen. Dabei geht es um Protesthymnen, Social-Media-Kampagnen und die Frage, ob ihr Engagement aus Überzeugung geschieht oder auch wirtschaftlichen Interessen dient.

In May Let’s Read! will discuss The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok.

In the novel, Jean Kwok explores identity, motherhood, abuse, and adoption, set against the backdrop of China’s controversial One Child Policy and the life of undocumented workers. The novel tells the stories of Jasmine Yang, a recent immigrant from China searching for her daughter, and Rebecca Whitney, a successful publishing executive. Despite their vastly different cultural, economic, and religious backgrounds, these women’s lives intersect in New York City.

An enthralling play based on lost tapes between two cultural giants and friends—Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. Every word in the play comes directly from these two 20th century geniuses. Their special, complex friendship is captured with bracing intimacy as they discuss life, love, and art and everything in between.

In 1978 Andy Warhol and Truman Capote decided to write a Broadway play. Andy suggested that he record their private conversations over the period of a few months, and that these tapes would be the source material for the play. The tapes were then filed away and forgotten. Their play was never completed.

Rob Roth brings their vision to life after a years-long search to unearth the eighty hours of tapes between two of the most daring artists of postwar America.

Nach einem intensiven Wahlkampf und turbulenten politischen Zeiten stehen die Vereinigten Staaten am Beginn einer neuen Regierungsperiode von Donald Trump. Nach den ersten 100 Tagen im Amt ist es Zeit, eine erste Einschätzung seiner zweiten Amtszeit vorzunehmen. Mit mehr Erfahrung, einer gestärkten Republikanischen Partei und radikalen Plänen wie dem “Project 2025” will Trump einen neuen Kurs einschlagen, der tiefgreifende Veränderungen im Regierungsapparat und der politischen Kultur der USA anstrebt. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die zentralen Maßnahmen, ihre politischen Auswirkungen sowie die Reaktionen auf Trumps erneute Präsidentschaft – ein Rückblick auf die Weichenstellungen, die das Land nachhaltig prägen könnten. Wie ist die Stimmung im Land?

Since U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes delivered his Speech of Hope at the Stuttgart Opera House on September 6, 1946, the U.S. and Germany have stood together through times of war, global strides for human rights, and the protection of freedom and democracy across the globe. Political contenders have also changed the stakes; with each change in Chancellor or President, new policies impact relations.

But what significance remains? What impact does it have on Europe? How does Germany benefit? We will take a deeper look into the Speech of Hope, highlight events that illustrate the highs and lows of the relationship, and discuss the challenges of modern times.

This presentation is part of our DAZ for Schools program and open to all students, teachers, and everyone who is interested.

Conspiracy theories in the United States and elsewhere have reached a level of importance and acceptance that would have been unimaginable ten years ago. The myth of the „stolen election“ of 2020 has become a kind of creed for the Republican Party.

How did this happen, and what does it mean for the political culture of the country and the future of democracy? These questions will be addressed in this teacher training, which will also pay special attention to the close connections between conspiracism and populism. Ideas and materials for discussing the topic in the classroom will also be provided.

How should we deal with the legacies of controversial public figures? Should we celebrate historical figures like James F. Byrnes, despite their partly problematic pasts? Can we separate an artist’s work from their personal life, or should modern celebrities like P. Diddy or J.K. Rowling be held accountable for their controversial actions? How do we decide if legacies deserve to be remembered of should be erased?

Join us for an engaging event during which students explore these complex questions through interactive and constructive discussion. In this dynamic format, students vote on controversial issues by positioning themselves in the room. By sharing their ideas and arguments, students try to understand different positions and reach compromises with each other. This is a unique opportunity to challenge your views, refine your arguments, and engage in meaningful dialogue with fellow students.

In the past, autocratization usually occurred quickly through coup attempts or foreign attacks. Today, in many countries, this is often a gradual process where democratically elected decision-makers slowly weaken and dismantle democratic institutions from within.

Why is the separation of powers essential for democracy? What significance do fundamental rights like freedom of the press and freedom of expression hold in our daily lives? And what could happen if these rights were infringed?

Using the dynamic teaching method of process drama, participants will experience and understand how a democracy is transformed into a totalitarian system. This is not acting in its traditional sense (no acting skills are necessary) – it is rather about the willingness to take on different perspectives in short exercises, like freeze-frames or dialogues. Participants will also reflect on their experiences and discuss what they have learned and its implications for the democracy they live in.
