Reflexionsraum "Speaking and Listening in Dark Times: The University as a Space of Trust" (Elisabeth Becker-Topkara)
In her talk, Elisabeth Becker-Topkara demonstrates the need for discourse spaces in which universities must transform themselves from battlegrounds of competing ideologies into havens for rigorous, courageous dialogue. Discourse across differences must be actively encouraged. She proposes the concept of ‚third spaces‘ where deep engagement and exchange can take place without ideological constraints, emphasising plurality, shared learning and the need for responsible discourse.
The talk challenges the current polarisations and radicalisations by offering approaches that reinforce the essential function of the university as a place where we can talk to each other – and not just about each other – and where we continue to try to understand each other even in the face of profound disagreement.
Dr Elisabeth Becker-Topkara is a Freigeist Fellow at the Max Weber Institute for Sociology at Heidelberg University and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University.
