Lecture Series Against Right-Wing Extremism: Right-Wing Christian Influencers—Between the "Jesus Glow," Deliberate Provocation, and Anti-Feminism

January 11, 2027 Right-Wing Christian Influencers: Between the “Jesus Glow,” Deliberate Provocation, and Anti-Feminism

The Kassel Lecture Series Against Right-Wing Extremism will take place again during the 2026–27 winter semester. In memory of the racist murder of Halit Yozgat, which was committed by the far-right NSU in 2006 not far from the Holländischer Platz campus, annual lecture series with varying themes have been held since 2012, aimed equally at students and the broader community. An interdisciplinary team from the departments of Human Sciences, Humanities and Cultural Studies, and Social Sciences organizes the lecture series in collaboration with scholars and practitioners. In the 2026–27 winter semester, the individual lectures will be held under the theme “Young, Dynamic, Far-Right? New and Old Far-Right Youth Cultures.”
