On Tuesday February 21, NYU Berlin will host an event entitled Migration in the Age of Globalization Challenging the Concept of the Nation-State and Cultural Identity. It will be held 1:30 – 3:00 pm at the NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room Prenzlauer Berg. Moderated by NYU Berlin Director Dr. Gabriella Etmektsoglou, this will be a discussion-based presentation with Astrid Schmidt-King, J.D., LL.M., NYU Gallatin alumna and current Visiting Professor of Law and Social Responsibility at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore. Considering current political discussions and developments in the US and Europe, the event will explore questions such as What is globalization’s impact on the cultural identity of a nation and the role of a state? and Why and how has immigration, specifically the ‘migration crisis’ in Europe, highlighted this question and reinforced the idea of the ‘other’?
