Jana Sämann at the Forum Siegen
The Siegen Forum continues on 29 January!
Discussions about such "neutrality" have gained considerable momentum, not least in the wake of the minor interpellation on the "neutrality" of civil society organizations by the former CDU/CSU parliamentary group. Political education actors are not exempt from this; they too are increasingly confronted with such demands. Jana Sämann (University of Siegen) researches these calls and responses in the field of civic education and provides insights into her current investigations.
She will speak on the topic of "Neutrality as a fighting concept: Strategies for the discursive delegitimization of political education".
Forum Siegen: Lecture - Discussion - Exchange
The manifold problems of our time do not allow science to be practiced only in an academic ivory tower. Even if scientific research and enlightenment cannot conjure up patent remedies and concise instructions, they are able to shape many insights and decisions in all areas of society through methodical training, critical questions and conditional information.
Acting in difficult times increasingly requires reflection. The Siegen Forum therefore discusses problems and examines methods that are important for "practice" in politics, business and culture. Representatives from all academic disciplines will have their say - and listen.
A total of nine events will be held under the general theme of "Civil Society under Pressure", each focusing on a different exciting topic from a different discipline.

Registration is not necessary.
