Professor of Politics Ewa Atanassow contributes essay "Carl Schmitt's Moment?" to NYU's Jean Monnet Center Working Paper series

A German jurist whose long life spanned four regimes and two world wars, Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) developed his political vision amid existential crisis. Atanassow's essay and the collection as a whole explore Schmitt's relevance to constitutional theory and contemporary public law.

Prof. Dr. Aya Soika co-curates The Applied Arts of the Brücke Artists exhibition at the Brücke Museum. 

The exhibition, which opens on March 5, 2026, offers a new perspective on the work of the Brücke artists by examining the group’s artistic use of wood, metal, and textiles. Soika is also a co-editor of the accompanying exhibition catalog.
