Plenary Speakers: Prof. Scott Lucas (University of Birmingham, UK) and Prof. Marcel Wissenburg (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands). More information about the speakers can be found here.
This conference seeks to explore both the past and the future of the transatlantic relationship by using the election of President Obama as a potential turning point in North American-European relations.
On a small scale, what does Obama mean for transatlantic relations in the political, security, economic, and cultural realms?
On a larger scale, how should we understand the meaning of the Obama administration within two decades of transatlantic relations since the end of the Cold War?
Taking a longer perspective, which historical precedents from the twentieth century can help us frame our understanding of political transitions as that represented by Obama?
The conference welcomes post-graduate students as well as more established scholars, and will be a forum for disciplines ranging across the social sciences and the arts.

The main organizing institutions are the Middelburg Center for Transatlantic Studies and the Roosevelt Study Center, NL, with support from the University of Central Missouri, USA, the University of South Dakota, USA, the Roosevelt Academy, NL.and the US Embassy, The Hague.
