The European Graduate School (EGS) is a private graduate school that operates in two locations: Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and Valletta, Malta.

History

It was founded in 1994 in Saas-Fee, Switzerland by the Swiss scientist, artist, and therapist, Paolo Knill. [2] [3] It was co-founded by the Swiss Canton of Valais, which is represented in its board. [4]

The school initially offered programs in Expressive Arts Therapy, as part of a broader initiative to develop a network of training institutes in Expressive Arts Therapy. [5] [6] A division of Media and Communication (later renamed Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought) was established in 1998 by Wolfgang Schirmacher. [2] [7] [8]

EGS is licensed as a university in Malta [9] and is recognized in the Swiss canton where it operates, [10] but is not recognized by the Swiss University Conference, the main regulatory body for universities in Switzerland. [11]

Teaching is mostly remote, with required attendance for short periods at the school; ad hoc meetings in various cities also take place. [12]

Notable faculty members have included Giorgio Agamben, [13] Chantal Akerman, [14] Pierre Alféri [15] Judith Butler, [16] Achille Mbembe, [16] Avital Ronell, [16] and Sandy Stone. [17]

Notable alumni and attendees have included Lara Khaldi, [18] John Maus, [19] Gael García Bernal, [20] Ariana Reines, [21] Micah White, [22] Pablo Iglesias Turrión, [23] [24] Bruce Barber [25] and Duane Rousselle.
