Camden Conference 2022: Europe: Challenged at Home and Abroad

The Camden Conference returns this coming February with the theme "Europe Challenged: At Home and Abroad." As the organizers state:

The 2022 Camden Conference theme will be Europe today – what is happening and what we can anticipate.  Europe’s leaders and citizens are facing pervasive economic, political and social challenges, some exacerbated by the global pandemic. How cohesive is the European Union? Where are populist movements headed, and where are democratic institutions under threat?  What will happen to the European-United States bond as a new generation of leaders pursue their own agendas with Russia, China, and other countries?  When can we rely on Europe, and can Europeans rely on us?

We've already started to host related Zoom lectures that continue to be available to view on the library's YouTube channel, and, as always, we aim to bring you the related resources to inform your interest. Each year, the Camden Conferences produces a recommended reading list to accompany the multi-day event, and this year's list can be viewed on their website: https://www.camdenconference.org/2022-recommended-reading/.
