Consul General Matt Boyse delivers lecture at Dortmund University

November 29, 2007.
"America: Myths, Realities, Complexities” was the title of a lecture by CG Matt Boyse, hosted on November 29 by the Rector of University Dortmund, Prof. Eberhard Becker, and the Director of the American Studies, Prof. Walter Grünzweig. Addressing an audience of students and faculty members, Matt Boyse took five issues (climate change, military force, Iraq, human rights and religion) -- about which many students often have firmly critical views of the United States -- to contrast "common knowledge" with much more nuanced reality.
