Transatlantic Students Symposia
The Transatlantic Students Symposia are a series of short-term academic exchanges that provide a student-based and largely student-run space for the discussion of topics of contemporary relevance in an interdisciplinary, experiential and transatlantic setting. Students of the humanities, including Political Science, Cultural and Literary Studies, History, Education, and others, are working together in order to approach political and historical topics with a strong relation to present-day cultural and public policy issues. They are furthermore provided with an outlook into professional and practical applications of their academic training.
The symposia are organized in a cooperation between the following partners:
- At OSU: Master of Public Policy Program and Intercultural Students Services
- At Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany: American Studies Program
- At Warsaw University, Poland: American Studies Center
