We are truly grateful to Werner Sollors and Daniel Williams for taking the time to join us for this wonderful discussion!

Sollors' writings on African American literature, race and ethnicity, multilingualism, and cosmopolitanism shaped the field of #AmericanStudies, constituting a capacious body of work that retains its analytic significance and continues to prove valuable for making sense of contemporary challenges.

On the occasion of the publication of "The Werner Sollors Reader" (@edinburghup.bsky.social, 2025), Sollors and Williams visited @amerikahaus.de to discuss Sollors' life, his thinking, and how he has become one of the most influential Americanists of his generation.

We are grateful to all participants and faculty members for their contributions and the supportive atmosphere. A very special "Thank you!" to our hosts at Goethe-Institut Montreal, most notably Nadja Furth and Nanna Henning, for their support and for providing this fantastic space for our event.

Furthermore, a conversation with Susanne Aschi-Glesius, Germany's Consul General in Montreal, and Daniel Etzel, Director of The State of Bavaria in Quebec, allowed for a critical discussion about public diplomacy in the present moment. Find out more about the program: t1p.de/lsh4q.

💡 We look back on a rich academic and cultural program. Beyond many intriguing talks by the participants and faculty members, a city tour through #Montreal, a picnic at Mont Royal, and an excursion to Kahnawá:ke gave participants the opportunity to get to know some parts of the city and its vicinity

The international summer school brought together 16 (post-)doctoral researchers from 🇦🇹 Austria, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇺🇸 the USA and 10 faculty members, also from both sides of the Atlantic.

🛫 Safe travels to all those who participate in the event! 🙏 And a big "Thank you!" to our cooperation partners at Goethe-Institut Montreal (Nadja Furth, Nanna Henning & the entire team) for hosting us over the coming week!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in #Montreal very soon!
