Prof. Dr. Frank Adloff at the Forum Siegen
The concept of civil society is as multifaceted as it is topical: multifaceted, often used in a diffuse way and yet full of scope for action. In his opening lecture on October 30, Prof. Dr. Frank Adloff (University of Hamburg) sorts out central approaches to the concept and thus lays the foundation for the following contributions in our series "Civil Society under Pressure".
He will be speaking on the topic of "Civil Society - Concept, History and Practice".

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 this semester under the general theme of "Civil Society under Pressure", each focusing on a different exciting topic from a different discipline.
