FH St. Pölten Launches 2025 Series on Social Work and Right-Wing Ideologies

The University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten is set to commence a series of six events in 2025 that will delve into the intersection of social work and right-wing ideologies. This initiative aims to explore the ways in which right-wing discourse is increasingly infiltrating social, cultural, and institutional spaces.

Under the thematic framework of 'Landnahme,' or land appropriation, a group of experts will illustrate how democratic principles and social justice are progressively being undermined. The series will provide a critical examination of the implications of such ideologies on societal structures and the social fabric.

Through these events, the university seeks to foster an understanding of the challenges posed by right-wing movements and their impact on social work practices. Attendees can expect to engage with various perspectives and gain insights into strategies for promoting democratic values and social equity in the face of these challenges.

The series will be beneficial for practitioners in the field of social work, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of contemporary political discourse and its implications for social justice.
