🎓 From June 1 to 8, 2026, the 's 14th Summer Academy took place in Tutzing and Augsburg, giving participants and faculty members an opportunity to engage with the topic "North American Narratives of Crisis and Repair, Past and Present." The international summer school brought together 15 (post-)doctoral researchers working in 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇪🇸 Spain, and 🇺🇸 the United States and 10 faculty members, also from both sides of the Atlantic.
💡 We look back on an incredibly rich and rewarding academic and cultural program. The program's keynote lectures, the participants' project presentations, and our discussions allowed for a nuanced examination of various dimensions of North American crisis and repair narratives. Beyond the academic program, the event included a hike to Andechs Monestary, a visit to Buchheim Museum in Bernried, and two city tours in Augsburg that gave our participants an opportunity to learn about the Fuggerei – the world’s oldest existing social housing complex – as well as the city's long history of water management.
