Lecture Series on Combating Right-Wing Extremism: Phenomena of Right-Wing Extremism

November 2, 2026 Introduction: Phenomena of Right-Wing Extremism (working title)

The Kassel Lecture Series Against Right-Wing Extremism will take place again in 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 courses on varying topics 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.”
