SUMMARY:Event series ‘We stand together – in solidarity, committed, democratic’: The role of academia in authoritarian times | Panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion: The role of academia in authoritarian times  \nPanel discussion with: Anne Lill (University of Jena), Christina Brüning (University of Marburg), Jens Adam (BTU), Heinz-Jürgen Voß (Merseburg University of Applied Sciences)\nModerator: Melanie Jaeger-Erben (BTU)\nThe panel discussion explores the role that academia can and should play in times of growing authoritarian, right-wing populist and far-right tendencies. The focus is on the tension between academic analysis, critique and intervention on the one hand, and the demands placed on academia under authoritarian pressure on the other: ranging from attacks on researchers and attempts to delegitimise scholarship to the instrumentalisation of knowledge for anti-democratic purposes. The discussion will address both broader societal developments and specific challenges facing universities, research institutions and educational practice. \nThe aim of the discussion is to clarify together: \nHow can academia be defended under authoritarian pressure whilst simultaneously fulfilling its democratic responsibilities? Which institutional, political and emotional dimensions are central to this? What contributions can academia, education and cultural practice make to strengthen democratic conditions and counter authoritarian trends?\nPart of the event series: We stand together – in solidarity, committed, democratic.\nDemocratic values are coming under increasing pressure, including in academia and at universities. With this series of events, we are sending a clear message in support of an open, diverse and united university community. Together with guests from academia, the legal profession and the wider community, we want to discuss how we can stand up for democratic values at the BTU and beyond. We will be asking how right-wing attacks affect our fields of work, what the principle of neutrality means in a higher education context, how research and teaching might change if a right-wing party were to come to power, and what role academia has to play in these times. Through lectures, panel discussions and workshops, we want to prepare for the future together with you and, across the whole university, form an alliance against the shift to the right. \nWe look forward to seeing you there and to sharing ideas with you!\n*Organised by the Diversity Working Group (Faculty 6, Institute of Urban Planning, represented by Pola Koch, Luisa Geldbach and Sinah Hackenberg) in collaboration with Dr. phil. Kevin Stützel (visiting professor for Methods of Social Work with a focus on community work, faculty 4, Institute of Social Work), Prof. Dr Melanie Jaeger-Erben (Faculty 5, chair of Sociology of Technology and the Environment) and Susanne Dyhr (Faculty 4, chair of Methods and Theories of Social Work, specialising in community work and the prevention of right-wing extremism, Monitoring against the Right).
