Ein von Michael Zürn und mir verfasster Nachruf auf Claus Offe. Ein bemerkenswerter Mensch und Wissenschaftler www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...
Sozialwissenschaftler Claus Offe gestorben
Claus Offe prägte die Sozialwissenschaften mit scharfsinnigen Analysen und gesellschaftskritischen Perspektiven. Als Grenzgänger zwischen Soziologie und Politologie bleibt sein Werk wegweisend.

Yesterday, about 30 researchers from Göttingen’s four Max Planck Institutes swapped labs for classrooms at #MaxPlanckGoesToSchool. From animal welfare to AI & space tech, students got a glimpse of frontier research. Thanks to all – see you in 2026! 🧑‍🏫🔬

Despite exclusionary rhetoric, openness to migration has grown. Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos & Karen Schönwälder gave a fascinating talk today on Germany’s shift toward being an open immigration country - driven less by policy than by broader foreign policy priorities #Migration #Germany #Policy

Are migration policies leaning toward securitization & exclusion, or do they reflect a complex mix of openness, human rights, & diversity normalization? How do policies governing movement intersect with the governance of societal diversity? Workshop today on #Migration & #Immigrant #Policies
