13/05/2022 - Dissent In Transatlantic Perspective 2022: Then, Now and in the Future?

International conference entitled Dissent In Transatlantic Perspective: Then, Now and in the Future? takes place on 12 and 13 May at the Prague Creative Centre (Staroměstské náměstí 4).

Main goal of the symposium is to explore the concept of dissent from different disciplinary perspectives in order to assess its various meanings, uses and continued relevance. Transatlantic and transnational aspects of dissent are of special significance, as they provide valuable comparative perspectives for the ongoing debates related to the subject. The recent wave of populist and/or authoritarian regimes hostile to the very concept of dissent should serve as one of the frames of reference.

Dr. Kateřina Březinová (Ibero-American Centre at MUP) participates with a paper on Belonging, Legal status and Dissent in the 21^st century USA.

Conference Programme

The EU’s Climate Leadership: Global Solution or Green Imperialism?

On November 7th, 2024, the Metropolitan University Prague hosted a conference titled Global Climate Change Mitigation and the Role of the EU. Held under the prestigious Jean Monnet Chair program. The event gathered over 100 students alongside presenting scholars, researchers, and NGO representatives to critically assess the EU’s role in addressing global climate challenges. Centered around the thought-provoking question of whether the EU’s climate leadership is genuinely global or primarily self-serving, the conference featured two insightful panels each followed by fruitful discussions, and was complemented by a plant-based buffet that underscored the event’s green theme.
