How do we understand and shape democracy in a society characterized by pluralism and migration? What role do human rights play therein? Against the backdrop of regional elections in Thuringia, Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt and an increasing shift to the far right in Germany, we invite you to join activists and committed academics for an evening of discussion on the interplay between democracy, human rights, and migration. The discussion aims to connect local political incidents with international debates and similar experiences elsewhere in search for common global norms and defiances of their local politicization.
This event aims to facilitate a shared exchange of experiences between activists, academics, and local civil society. The roundtable continues a series of “MeDiMi Impulses” by the MeDiMi Research Associates, who organize themselves as a section of the Giessen Graduate Centre for Social Sciences, Business, Economics and Law (GGS).
