DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Berlin Lecture will be delivered by *Dr Amy Gutmann*\
 , Christopher H Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science\, Scho
 ol of Arts and Sciences\, and Professor of Communication\, Annenberg Schoo
 l for Communication\, University of Pennsylvania.\n\nFrom the perspective 
 of a life-long academic who became U.S. Ambassador to Germany\, I offer re
 flections on my diplomatic experience and how it illuminates major threats
  to American democracy and our allies today. As the only survivor of a gen
 eration of German Jews\, I also reflect personally on how my own family’
 s trajectory is a story of the destructive weight of autocracy\, the redee
 ming power of democracy\, and the urgency of this perilous moment in histo
 ry. In conclusion\, I offer three broad strategies—requiring civic coura
 ge\, sooner not later—to reverse the potential demise of democracy and t
 o protect the people democracy must serve to survive.\n\nhttps://www.wolfs
