About the lecturer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prof. John Matteson is one of the most acclaimed biographers of our times, as proven by the Pulitzer Prize which he was awarded in 2008. He is a graduate of Princeton University (Department of History), Harvard University (Harvard Law School) and Columbia University (Department of English and Comparative Literature). He works as Distinguished Professor at the English Department of John Jay College of Criminal Justice City University of New York.<\/p>\n

The present shape of New York has been (and still is) determined by the dynamics of multiculturalism.\u00a0 Having recognised that the Upper Silesia and Zag\u0142\u0119bie D\u0105browskiie have also been historically formed under the impact of multinational and multireligious social relations, the researcher has noticed a lot of common phenomena for Metropolis GZM and New York Metropolis. The most important of them include the problems related to the coexistence within a limited space of various ethnic and religious groups whose mutual relations are frequently burdened with historic traumas. Explaining these phenomena on the American ground and in the context of literature, history and law, Prof. Matteson has also indicated potential directions for regional studies (including research on Silesia) in Poland.<\/p>\n
