the conference, <strong>\u201cEast Meets West: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on America\u2019s Changing Image,\u201d<\/strong> which will examine how America\u2019s global image has transformed in recent years. In the 21st century, representations of America are undergoing significant shifts. Once central to narratives of liberty and opportunity, its image is now examined through a diverse range of literary, cultural, philosophical lenses, including perspectives from both within America and regions such as Central and Eastern Europe and Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This interdisciplinary conference will explore these evolving perspectives and how they are reflected in literature, media, cultural narratives and food studies. What does it mean for the American identity and its global reputation when the long-held narrative of being the &#8222;promised land&#8220; is questioned? How are cross-cultural exchanges between America and the East, particularly Central and Eastern Europe, represented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome papers that address these and related questions, offering fresh perspectives on how America\u2019s image is being reshaped in today\u2019s globalized and interconnected world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shifting Perspectives in American Literature, Culture, and Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do contemporary American novels, films, and cultural texts reflect these shifting narratives? How are these shifting perspectives represented across various cultural forms, and what impact do they have on America\u2019s global image?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Philosophical Reflections on American Identity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do contemporary philosophical perspectives reflect the evolving nature of American values and identity? How do critical theories, including post-postmodernism, critical race theory, gender related theories and eco-philosophy, analyze current social, political, and ethical challenges?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Central and Eastern European Perspectives on America<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What roles do literature and media from Central and Eastern Europe play in reimagining America\u2019s global image? How do these regions, historically shaped by American influence during the Cold War, now perceive America in the context of modern geopolitical changes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freedom, Democracy, and the American Dream in Crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How has the concept of the American Dream evolved in contemporary cultural narratives? What role does this iconic idea play in shaping America\u2019s image both domestically and internationally, and how is it critiqued and replaced in today\u2019s global culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Literary and Cultural Representations of America<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do novels, films, and visual media depict the decline or persistence of America in the 21st century? Are there new symbols or metaphors that represent America\u2019s changing role on the world stage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transnational Perspectives on American Identity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do immigrant and diaspora writers in America contribute to or challenge the shifting global perspectives on American identity? How do cross-cultural narratives portray the complex relationship between Eastern and Western values, and what does this reveal about American identity in a global context?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International relations and collaboration&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How are recent developments reflected in international relations and the American involvement in the Eastern European region and beyond?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interdisciplinary Contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference invites interdisciplinary insights from the fields of literary studies, cultural studies, media studies, linguistics, philosophy, political theory, international relations, and related disciplines. We encourage papers that explore the cultural, historical, and linguistic dimensions of these shifts, with a particular focus on literature, media representations, and cross-cultural dialogues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-2 kt-inner-tab077dac-80\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/hscherng\/\">Hua-Yu Sebastian Cherng, New York University, USA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hua-Yu Sebastian Cherng is the Vice Dean of Research and Equity at NYU Steinhardt, where he leads both the Office of Research and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging. He also serves as Professor of International Education at New York University&#8217;s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His research focuses on comparative perspectives of race, ethnicity, and (im)migration, particularly in the contexts of the United States and China. His earlier work explored the role of social support in the lives of marginalized youth, demonstrating how resources like teacher support are often more vital for non-dominant youth yet less readily accessible. His current research challenges established educational &#8222;truths,&#8220; such as the assumption that high test scores early on predict future STEM outcomes or that college advising is an equalizing force for students of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherng&#8217;s scholarship has been published in leading journals such as the American Educational Research Journal, Educational Researcher, Social Forces, and Teachers College Record, and he has garnered over $8 million in grants from funders such as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Spencer Foundation. His work has also appeared in over 20 mainstream media outlets, including CNN, NPR, TIME, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Metro, and Essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He earned his PhD in Education Policy and Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania, and before returning to higher education, Cherng taught algebra and geometry at a public charter school and Upward Bound in San Francisco.

The historical centre, with the majority of hotels, restaurants, stores and the enchanting Main Street \u2013 \u201cHLAVN\u00c1 ULICA\u201d \u2013 is only a 7 to 9-minute walk from the railway and bus stations. If arriving by train, go out of the right-most doors of the station and walk straight along the pavement in front you. If arriving by bus, walk along the front of the railway station (which will be on your right as you exit the bus terminal) to the second set of doors and turn left to walk along the pavement. As you walk, you will pass a tram stop (on your left). Continuing straight on, you will cross the road (cars don\u2019t always stop for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, so please be careful!) to walk down an alley of trees through the city park. You should already be able to see the cathedral tower in the distance. Once you have crossed a pedestrian bridge, you will enter Mlynsk\u00e1 Street \u2013 \u201cMLYNSK\u00c1 ULICA\u201d.

The Liberation Square \u2013 \u201cN\u00c1MESTIE OSLOBODITE\u013dOV\u201d \u2013 can be recognised by a large memorial to the soldiers of World War II and the shopping centre AUPARK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TO THE CONFERENCE VENUE:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend you walk to the conference venue from your hotels, unless the weather is really bad.
