Imagining Europe: Symbols, Practices and the Culture of Authority in the EU 

Dr. McNamara’s talk will be based on her forthcoming Oxford University Press book, in which she argues that the legitimation of EU authority rests on a transformation in the symbols and practices of everyday life in Europe.   Kathleen R. McNamara is an Associate Professor of Government and Foreign Service and Director of the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University. She is the author of The Currency of Ideas: Monetary Politics in the European Union (Cornell University Press, 1998) and numerous essays on the European Union, international political economy, and the role of ideas and culture in policy-making.
