Albertine Conversations
Albertine Conversations is a program created by Villa Albertine in partnership with universities and cultural institutions across the United States. Bringing together academics, policy experts, scientists, and community advocates from France and the United States, it explores some of the most pressing questions of our time through three main themes:
The Democracy Series focuses on the future of democracy, examining current challenges to democratic values and institutions, whether cultural, legal, economic, technological or environmental.
The Ecology Series centers on our evolving understanding of what constitutes life on earth, and the social and cultural implications of those shifts in the context of environmental crises.
The Critical Technologies Series interrogates the notion of progress in relation to the fast-evolving fields of AI, digital media, as well as biotechnologies, weighing on the promises and risks each involves.
