The Einstein Fellows Research Group at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, funded by the program "Wissenschaftsfreiheit" by Einstein Foundation Berlin, includes scholars with a background on critical thinking in academia. The research areas of the group are twofold: ‘Authoritarianism and Democratic Decline’ and ‘Forced Migration and Diasporas’. The scholars are affiliated with the Berlin Institute for Empirical Research on Migration and Integration (BIM) and the Institute of Social Sciences (ISW) and the Integrative Research Institute for Law and Society (LSI). The Lecture Series adopts an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach to better understand the current debates on authoritarianism and migration studies in Turkey and beyond. Through a focus on politics, mobility and activism, the Series urges to bring different approaches in theory and praxis into conversation.
