13. Jan
How can we respond appropriately to the challenge from the right-wing political spectrum? This is a burning question for Leuphana students as well. Because times have become rougher in Europe and Germany.
Time: Monday, January 13, 18:00–20:00 pm
Location: Transformation Spaces, Leuphana University Lüneburg, C25.019
Language: German
Political extremes are entering the arenas of dialogue – above all right-wing extremism. The accepted and established behaviours that make socio-political discourse in democracies possible in the first place are coming under increasing pressure. The impulse, lecture and debate offerings will address the trend ‘The Rise of the Right’. The discourse space Leuphana will be directly involved in the start of the focus week and will connect students with the Leuphana Institute of Advanced Studies.
Sarah Engler, Professor for Comparative Politics, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Dominique Haas, Commissioner for Combating Right-Wing Extremism LandkreisesLüneburg, Bildungs- und Integrationsbüro, Markus Reihlen, Professor of Business Management, in particular Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship and Vice President for Professional School, Internationalization, Entrepreneurship and Transfer, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg and Lio Pollmanns, Working group on right-wing populism and higher education, discuss the rise of right-wing ideologies and their social impact with Leuphanastudents Talja Blumenthal and Martin Auer (moderators).
