PhD Project
Rock against the right. Music as a means of protest against right-wing extremism. (working title)
The project deals with the history of civil society protest against right-wing extremism in Germany. Using the example of the musical movement "Rock gegen Rechts", founded in Germany at the end of the 1970s, and the concerts organized under this name until the end of the 1990s, music will be examined as a means of protest against right-wing extremism. The project aims to make a contribution to the history of right-wing extremism and the fight against it in Germany.
The project is supported by the Gerda-Henkel Foundation.
