Poster for the Summer 2026 joint lecture series “Democratic Challenges in Europe” organized by Baltic Peripeties / IFZO at the University of Greifswald. Features seven lectures between April and July 2026 on topics including affective polarization, democratic backsliding, migration, youth representation, the radical right, and ethnic domination.

This summer term, our joint lecture series at @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social and @ifzo.bsky.social returns with "Democratic Challenges in Europe".

For this term's programme, @oksanaalekseev.bsky.social and I invited 7 fantastic scholars to discuss democratic resilience, stability, and contestation.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, lieber Arndt! 🤩

Vielen, lieben Dank, Arndt 😊

Thanks a lot! :)

I still can’t quite believe it – yesterday I was awarded the 2026 Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize by the DFG! ✨✨✨

I am immensely grateful for the support of all the colleagues and mentors who have accompanied and supported me on my academic journey so far! 🙏
