Privacy, a cornerstone of liberal democracies, faces increasing challenges in today's world. From issues surrounding data protection in the digital age to its intersection with rights like free speech and reproductive freedoms, privacy shapes our lives as citizens, consumers, and individuals.
In this conversation, Prof. 
Alexander Görlach
, journalist and adjunct professor for democratic theory at NYU Gallatin School, and 
Prof. Martin Eiermann
 explore the evolving role of privacy in the U.S. and Germany, highlighting key differences. How have legal frameworks, cultural values, and historical contexts shaped personal freedoms across the Atlantic?
Biographies:
Martin Eiermann
 is a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University and will be an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, starting Fall 2025. Eiermann studies the politics of personal data and the consequences of visibility and institutional contact. Sitting at the intersection of political sociology, law and societies studies, and social demography, his work combines computational methods — social network analysis, statistical modeling, and text analysis — with qualitative archival research. His recent work highlights contemporary institutions of care and social control – the child welfare system and the criminal justice system –, showing how institutional contact is affected by algorithmic risk scores and the state’s uneven propensity to intervene in the lives of vulnerable populations, and how such contact in turn shapes health and family outcomes. This research is built on a theoretical and substantive interest in the history of privacy and surveillance in the modern United States.
Eiermann received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and his B.A. (in History and Political Theory) from Harvard University. He is also a Senior Research Associate at the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN), and has been a fellow at the Berkeley Center for the Study of Law and Society, the Institute of International Studies, and the Institute for Global Change. Eiermann has written for publications like 
Foreign Policy
, 
Foreign Affairs
, the 
New Statesman
, the 
Wall Street Journal
, and 
Open Democracy
, or for institutions like the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung and Chatham House.

- Art Deco style: The Empire State Building adopts a typical Art Deco style, emphasizing symmetry, geometry and fine decoration, and the top minarets are uniquely designed to make them exceptionally strong and unique in the New York skyline. ​- Fine structural design: The backbone of the building is composed of 210 steel columns, of which 12 directly reach the top of the building, providing a solid support for the building. With the increase of height, the floor area gradually shrinks, forming five major changes, this design not only considers structural stability, but also increases the aesthetic of the building. Historical and Cultural Values - Witnessing Historical Changes: The Empire State Building was built during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and its completion not only provided a large number of jobs in the United States at the time, but also marked the beginning of the rise of American industry and the peak of modern urban development. ​- Bearing cultural symbols: As one of the cultural symbols of the United States, the Empire State Building has appeared in many films, literature and art works, such as the film &quot;King Kong&quot;, further enhancing its global visibility and cultural influence.

Central Park

Fall Viewing Attractions

蓝星旅行者

Walking through New York&#39;s Central Park, it seems to fall into the gentle cracks of the steel forest. Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow. The city code on the bench is the most moving. The cold chair was stroked by the fingertips, and the short text on the nameplate hid the New Yorker&#39;s temperature: &quot;Give my wife Carol, because she loves Central Park, and I love her&quot; - the separation of life, the young encounter, the mother and son bonding, all condensed into a dew in the wood grain. When high school students spread out books and laughed on the sheep lawn, and when the reciting of Shakespeare&rsquo;s poems drifted from Cherry Hill to the lake, the park became an emotional resonant box, full of human narratives that transcended language. In the afternoon, I closed my eyes in the Ramble Forest area. Bird song and stream sound woven into natural white noise, suddenly understand the deep meaning of Olmsted: this 3.4 million square meters of green lung, originally dedicated to &quot;the handicrafts of tired industrial workers&quot;, so that people who can not travel far can drink nature here. The boat house pier at dusk is the most magical, The wooden paddles smashed the red-stained lake, and the wild ducks swam through the reflection of Manhattan. The hustle and bustle of the city sank to the bottom, leaving only the breathing in the shadow of the oasis of the oars. &quot;When the whispers of the bench fell into the palms with the cherry blossom rain, I knew that the oasis in this concrete wasteland, It was New York&#39;s prose poem to the world. &quot;&nbsp;
