Censorship and freedom of expression today (lecture with discussion)

"Freedom of expression is considered one of the most noble human rights of all" (BVerfG 1958). It is constitutive for every democracy. Nevertheless, censorship continues to exist today, not only in dictatorships. The issue even seems to be becoming more topical.

When democracies are eroded by populist tendencies, when autocracies and dictatorships gain strength, censorship always plays a central role in these processes.

The lecture by censorship researcher Nikola Roßbach discusses various concepts and practices of censorship. Who poses the greatest threat to freedom of expression today? Join the discussion after the lecture.

The lecture starts at 9:00(s.t. !!) and ends at 10:30.

 

This is one of three German studies events of the Democracy Days Teaching 2025.
