Lecture series against right-wing extremism WiSe 2019/20
In memory of the racist murder of Halit Yozgat, the lecture series against right-wing extremism was held for the first time in 2012. The upcoming series of events will focus on civil society spaces (including trade unions and churches) and actors. The discussion will focus on the role they play in relation to right-wing extremism, the dynamics at work there, and the positions they adopt and the strategies they open up for dealing with right-wing extremism and radicalization.
Speakers from various disciplines and fields will give lectures and report on the current state of their research. Among others, right-wing populism as a challenge for trade unions (Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schroeder from the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Kassel) or for the Catholic Church (Prof. Dr. Andreas Lob-Hüdepohl, lecturer at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences Berlin and member of the German Ethics Council) will be discussed.
The lecture is aimed at students from the departments 01, 02, 05, but is also open to all interested parties. The lecture series is supported by the Presidential Board of the University of Kassel as well as by the departments 01,02 and 05 and the AStA.
