Experts on German politics and society will engage in an interactive multi-site discussion focusing on the German Chancellor, her politics and personality. How has she been represented in the press and popular culture throughout Europe? To what extent has Chancellor Merkel (her preferences, style, skills, background) shaped contemporary Europe? To what extent has she become a symbol of the current crises impacting Germany and other member states of the European Union?
