Lecture Series on Combating Right-Wing Extremism: Right-Wing Extremism in Martial Arts—Activities, Organizations, and Democratic Counterstrategies

December 14, 2026: Right-Wing Extremism in Martial Arts—Activities, Organizations, and Democratic Counterstrategies

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 events 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.”
