SUMMARY:Трансформация американской политики: что это значит для нации и мира
DESCRIPTION:Споры и противостояния  в политической жизни  характеризуют американскую демократию с момента ее основания. Однажды они привели даже к кровопролитной гражданской войне. \nЯвляется ли нынешний разлад  всего лишь продолжением длительной традиции политических разногласий  или он предвещает более серьезный раскол  в американском обществе? \nУзнайте на лекции американского историка\, профессора Дэвида Голдфилда! \nДэвид Голдфилд – автор шестнадцати книг\, в том числе «Черный\, белый и южный: расовые отношения и южная культура» и «Хлопковые поля и небоскребы». Обе эти книги были номинированы на Пулитцеровскую премию. В настоящее время Дэвид Голдфилд  – профессор истории в Университете Северной Каролины в Шарлотте. \n🌐 Язык мероприятия: английский (при необходимости будет организован перевод). \nНе упустите возможность разобраться в современной политической динамике Соединенных Штатов и ее влиянии на весь мир! \n🔗 Чтобы принять участие\, пожалуйста\, пройдите регистрацию по ссылке: https://forms.gle/aW9pDkW6BCpVEs2v6 \n__________________________________________________________________ \nDebates and conflicts in political life have characterized American democracy since its inception. They even once led to a bloody civil war. \n\nIs the current discord merely a continuation of the longstanding tradition of political disagreements\, or does it foreshadow a more serious divide within American society? \nFind out at the lecture by American historian Professor David Goldfield! \nHe is the author of sixteen books\, including “Black\, White\, and Southern: Race Relations and Southern Culture” and “Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers.” Both of these books were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Currently\, David Goldfield is a professor of history at the Robert Lee Bailey University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

SUMMARY:Chat GPT\, AI\, and the Changing Nature of Information
DESCRIPTION:The world is changing fast! And that is especially true of how we compose and collect information. ChatGPT and similar technologies have only been available to the public for several months\, but already they are having a major impact on how we understand the present and see the future. Are these changes good? Are they bad? Or are they somewhere in between? Regardless of what you think of these technological developments\, they seem like they are here to stay\, so it’s probably best to understand how they function\, where you could encounter them\, and what they can do.

SUMMARY:All That Jazz: The Black\, White\, and Blue of American Music

Goldfield – American historian\, writer\, film director\, and professor. He is the author of sixteen books\, including Black\, White\, and Southern: Race Relations and Southern Culture and Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers.
