Science Against Fascism: Bayreuth Discusses Responsibility and Democracy
On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the event series Science Against Fascism invites you to a public lecture evening at the University of Bayreuth. In the conference room of the Africa Research Center, scientific perspectives, social responsibility, and democratic exchange come together.
Three Impulses for a Clear View
Starting at 6:15 PM, three impulse lectures will be the focus. Prof. Kristin Skottki examines why White Supremacy and so-called Ethnopluralism are dangerous for society. Dr. Samira Marty talks about the fascization of solidarity. Prof. Joël Glasman explores the question of whether science must be neutral.
Lecture, Questions, and Open Discussion
The evening combines professional context with space for questions, discussion, and personal exchange. The event is explicitly aimed at the interested public, providing a low-threshold opportunity to connect scientific analyses with current societal debates.
Engaging in Conversation Together
After the impulses, the evening opens up for audience engagement in direct exchange. Snacks and drinks accompany the conversations afterwards. The event experience thrives on different perspectives, respectful discussion, and the willingness to think together about democratic responsibility.
Science as a Societal Task
The series Science Against Fascism highlights the importance of universities as places of information, research, and debate. For the target audience, the lecture evening focuses on well-founded contributions, comprehensible discussion, and personal encounters. The organization by the KuWi student council and the involvement of Students Against the Right Bayreuth connects academic expertise with civic engagement.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect an informative and discussion-rich evening with three different scientific approaches, open questions, and room for exchange. For those who want to actively experience Bayreuth's democratic conversation culture and understand current developments professionally, this offers an important occasion for thoughtful participation and dialogue.
