I Activism and Entrepreneurship Seminar: Citizens and societies of Spain and the United States in history

With the background of politics and diplomacy (also cultural) present at all times, this Permanent Seminar in its first edition raises the debate on the influence of "the American" in the Spanish society of the XNUMXth century: identifying its agents, effects and reactions. Special interest is placed on the subjects that promote US actions and activism (internationalism, feminism, environmentalism...) in Spanish society and civic institutions. The nature of a more balanced mutual influence at the end of the XNUMXth century will be discussed, in the historical experience of non-central actors: companies, students, emigrants, academic institutions, etc.

Date: Thursday, March 15

Time: 09: 00h to 14: 30h

Registration: Free until full capacity. You can register here!.

Organized by: Institute of International and European Studies, Francisco de Vitoria, UC3M and Instituto Franklin-UAH
