This event will explore how racialised xenophobic rhetoric has entered German mainstream politics, impacting not only migrants' rights but also the future of German democracy. Coinciding with the new German Citizenship Act, experts from various fields will discuss the role of political discourse in fostering an inclusive society. Join us for a critical conversation on the normalisation of xenophobic discourse and its policy consequences.
The programme includes a keynote by Prof. Dr. Cornelia Woll, President of the Hertie School, and a panel moderated by Prof. Dr. Anke Hassel, Professor of Public Policy at Hertie School, with:
Dr. Marcus Engler, Migration Researcher at the German Institute for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM)
