  • Role: subject
  • In the article: An interview with Friederike Schulte as she leaves the institute after 16 years. She describes its lively, international atmosphere and its transatlantic dialogue programme, and the financial pressure on the house as it looks for new premises.
  • Why it matters: The house is the subject of the whole interview; the article is a portrait of the institution through its director.
