“Group Identity beyond Nationalism”. Public lecture by Jonathan Wolff on May 2

Nationalism is on the rise again worldwide. Based on this observation, Prof. Dr. Jonathan (Alfred Landecker Professor of Values and Public Policy and Governing Body Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford) will address alternative forms of belonging in his lecture “Group Identity beyond Nationalism. Lessons from National Socialism”, he will examine alternative forms of belonging. In his search for other sources of identity that could replace or at least complement nationalism, he will also draw on his personal family history and his father’s life in Frankfurt during the Nazi era.
