Involving the public in research and development is not just for the birds. How can we leverage the power of collective intelligence to solve pressing challenges in science and business? This is the central question explored in our latest podcast episode featuring Professor Henry Sauermann of ESMT. We explore the world of crowd science, examining when, where, and how to involve the public in research and development. As Prof. Sauermann explains, the applications of crowd science extend far beyond ornithology; it is a powerful methodology for any field seeking innovation and broader impact. Key discussion points Defining crowd science: what it is and how it differs from crowdsourcing and citizen science. The “when, where, and how” of crowd science: When to involve the public (data collection, idea generation, diverse perspectives) Where it can be applied (academic research, corporate R&D) How to implement a project (attracting participants, ensuring mutual benefit) Real‑world examples: eBird and FoldIt Challenges and solutions: hurdles and practical strategies to overcome them. Applications for business: using crowd science for innovation, product development, and problem‑solving. Guest information Professor Henry Sauermann is the ESMT Chair in Entrepreneurship and director of the Institute for Endowment Management and Entrepreneurial Finance at ESMT Berlin. His co‑author, Marion K. Poetz, joins him in exploring how crowd science drives progress across sectors.

Inclusive language aims to welcome and respect all individuals by avoiding expressions that marginalize or stereotype. It goes beyond gender, including considerations of race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status, among others. The gaming industry, which connects people worldwide, faces unique challenges in implementing inclusive language across diverse cultures and languages. This matters profoundly, as the right words can make all gamers feel included, while the wrong ones can alienate or offend. In this podcast episode, Campus 10178 host Tammi L. Coles interviews Amanda Hawthorne, the inclusive language lead at EA (Electronic Arts). Hawthorne details EA's inclusive language initiatives and how such efforts are, ultimately, ensuring that players feel welcome and seen.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming Round 1 deadlines for this new season, as we close out last season. Graham then highlighted several events that Clear Admit is hosting over the next month. Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 22, we host a webinar with CMU / Tepper: https://bit.ly./teppermbawebinar, on Monday, August 28, we have a Clear Admit+ webinar, and we have a Real Humans webinar which includes alumni and students from top MBA programs on August 30th: https://bit.ly/rhwebinar5. We will also be hosting our next Essay Insights series in early September... Graham then highlighted three Adcom Q&As, where we interview admissions directors at Cornell / Johnson, Washington / Olin and ESMT Berlin. Later in this podcast episode, we also had a conversation about UPenn / Wharton's recently released class profile for the Class of 2025. This is the first released profile from a top MBA program. What was notable, aside from a decline in application volume, was the corresponding 5 point drop in the average GMAT score. It will be interesting to see if these declines are reflected at other top programs... As usual, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is an instructor pilot in the Air Force. They appear to have done very well during their military service. They have a strong GRE of 334, but their GPA is their weak point, at 2.5. Taking Business Fundamentals, MBA Math, or the equivalent may help. We do hope they are able to overcome this aspect of their candidacy as everything else looks very strong. This week's second MBA candidate has a strong entrepreneurial profile, both in Argentina and the United States. They are also first generation, and do some additional work for those with low incomes. The one worry we have for this profile is the combination of the GMAT (710, 42 quant) and GPA of 3.2. Because the quant score of the GMAT is low, we really think any improvement there will have impact. And they can then apply in Round 2. The final MBA candidate is a two-time cancer survivor, which had impact on their academic record (3.36). They do have a 337 GRE, and their work experience and community experience looks strong. Their goals are related to their life experience, and overall, this does look like a very strong candidate. This episode was recorded in Philadelphia, PA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Recognizing and elevating the work of women of color is vital in an entrepreneurial landscape where equity is paramount. This is far from today's reality. Because of race and gender, founders who are women of color often face significant barriers, including poor representation and limited access to funding in investment circles. Creating supportive networks that can help these founders navigate these obstacles is essential for building an inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem.  In episode 27 of Campus 10178, the ESMT business podcast, host Tammi L. Coles interviews Alina Bassi, co-founder and CEO of Kleiderly and one of the three women who established Founderland, a groundbreaking nonprofit organization that supports women of color entrepreneurs across Europe. In this episode, they discuss the importance of diversity in entrepreneurship, the creation of Founderland, and the unique challenges faced by women of color entrepreneurs. Throughout the conversation, Bassi shares insights from her journey as a migrant and entrepreneur in Berlin.

In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, uncovering the hidden biases and pitfalls that can perpetuate inequalities is crucial for equity and justice. AI research conducted and published by individuals who are not part of marginalized communities can set back decades of progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Examples, such as the deadnaming and misgendering phenomenon faced by trans scholars, highlight the need for change in AI academic spaces. Iinvolving LGBTIQ+ persons and other marginalized communities in the development and deployment of AI can ensure that it serves their interests.  In episode 26 of Campus 10178, the ESMT business podcast, host Tammi L. Coles (she/her) welcomes Arjun Subramonian (they/them), a computer science PhD student at UCLA and a member of Queer in AI. The episode delves into the intersection of AI, queer and gender identities, and the digital rights of marginalized communities. Subramonian sheds light on the biases and challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ and BIPOC persons and other communities underrepresented in AI development and deployment. The conversation explores the role of large language models like ChatGPT, research that shows the value of intersectional and inclusive approaches to challenging AI bias, and the importance of grassroots organizations and student activism in ensuring an AI future that serves all.  Guest contact information Arjun Subramonian Computer Science PhD Student at UCLA Arjun's website: https://arjunsubramonian.github.io/ Links Queer in AI https://www.queerinai.com/ Black in AI https://blackinai.github.io/#/ Indigenous in AI https://indigenousinai.org/ LatinX in AI https://www.latinxinai.org/ Algorithmic Justice League https://www.ajl.org/ Distributed AI Research Institute https://www.dair-institute.org/ About Campus 10178 Campus 10178 is Germany's #1 podcast on the business research behind business practice.

Edtech is rapidly evolving – offering new opportunities for learning, skills development, and peer exchange. Rather than wholly displacing traditional education methods, blended approaches in edtech leverage the benefits of online and on-site learning to meet the needs and preferences of today's learners. In episode 24 of Campus 10178, the ESMT business podcast, Nan Guo and Roselva Tunstall, directors of the Learning Innovation Lab at ESMT Berlin, share their insights on the explosive development of edtech. The guests discuss how edtech has helped to democratize executive education to create transformative learning experiences for a broader array of users. The episode explores the tension between the convenience and accessibility of online learning and the desire for meaningful peer-learning and network-building experiences. The guests provide insights into how companies can seek out and wrest value from executive education programs that balance these competing demands, as well as tips for learners who are evaluating what will be best for their personal learning needs.

In der Diskussion um Nachhaltigkeit im Unternehmen kommt die Rolle des Aufsichtsrats noch viel zu kurz. Dabei ist es dieses Gremium, das die langfristige Strategie verantwortet und den Vorstand kontrolliert. Wie muss der Aufsichtsrat also seine eigene Arbeitsweise und das Miteinander mit Management und Organisation weiterentwickeln, um den Anforderungen an ESG zu genügen? Und welche Kultur, welche Persönlichkeiten braucht das Unternehmen für eine erfolgreiche Transformation? Diese grundsätzlichen Fragen stellt Planetary-Business-Host Stefanie Hauer in dieser Folge ihrem Gast Katharina von Frankenberg, Expertin für Corporate Governance und Board Practice bei der Executive Search Firma Egon Zehnder.

A cyber-attack has never been qualified as an armed attack, but cyber operations will continue to be used to assist military goals, as we are witnessing in Ukraine. Applying cyber defence measures to defend critical digital assets, both military or civilian, should be an important part of any effective response strategy. But what does constitute an armed attack in cyberspace? Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, Director of the Digital Society Institute at ESMT Berlin and previously Ambassador for Cyber Diplomacy and Director General for the Cyber Diplomacy Department at the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acknowledges the answer varies depending on a country's dependency on digital technologies, it's cyber resilience and robustness of key infrastructures, and its cyber defence and offense posture. Heli talks to Ronan about her background, when a cyber attack could be defined as an armed attack, the Estonian cyber attack in 2007, how to respond to cyber attacks and more. More about Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar: Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar has been the Director of the Digital Society Institute at the European School of Management and Technology in Berlin since January 2022. From 2018 to 2021, she served as Ambassador for Cyber Diplomacy and Director General for the Cyber Diplomacy Department at the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she led the efforts to promote international law and cyber norms during Estonia's tenure on the United Nations Security Council. From 2012 to 2018, Heli worked as a Head of Cyber Policy Coordination at the European External Action Service, where she coordinated EU external relations on cyber issues and co-led preparations of European Cyber Security Strategies. She set up EU strategic level cyber dialogues with the United States, India, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, and China as well as international organizations. She also kicked off EU global cyber capacity building programs and steered the development of the EU Cyber Diplomacy Toolbox to bolster European response to malicious cyber activities. In 2011, she was assigned to the NATO International Staff to prepare the NATO Cyber Defence Policy. Heli has been working on cyber and tech policies since 2007 when she led the development of the first whole-of-government Estonian Cyber Security Strategy.

Celebrating two decades of success of business education in Germany In Episode 23 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, ESMT President Jörg Rocholl steps into the podcast studio to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of ESMT (#ESMT20). He speaks on the key drivers for establishing an international business school in Germany, the school's rise to success, and the path ahead for education in business management, especially in light of the digital transformation, climate change/sustainability, and war.   “We strongly believe that we would not only like to have relevance for business, which is important enough, but also have relevance for society. We strongly believe that business can only operate in a society which actually gives the credit to business to operate the way business operates. This means business always has to recouple its legitimacy with society.” – Jörg Rocholl, President, ESMT Berlin   Guest contact information:   Jörg Rocholl   President and Deutsche Bank Professor in Sustainable Finance     ESMT Berlin   Bio: https://faculty-research.esmt.berlin/person/joerg-rocholl/bio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/j%C3%B6rg-rocholl-051407/ About Campus 10178 Campus 10178 is Germany's #1 podcast on the business research behind business practice.

Fighting gender inequity in the business sector serves everyone, including men.   Although debate about barriers to work for women, especially those from ethnically marginalized groups, are usually centered around what women can do, a growing movement is targeting men and their responsibility directly. That work is asking men to break free of the masculinity boxes to understand that male privilege in the workforce hurts everyone, including men themselves.   In Episode 22 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, we speak with Sandra Ondraschek-Norris, vice president for global learning at MARC, Men Advocating Real Change, a program of the international nonprofit Catalyst, Inc. MARC challenges and inspires male leaders to leverage their privilege and responsibility to be advocates for equity and accelerate the creation of inclusive workplaces. Ondraschek-Norris details the research on the barriers to male leadership in gender equity initiatives and shares stories of how it is changing (and should change) in the corporate world.   “Develop your inclusive leadership skills. Educate yourself about inequities and the root causes of inequity. You will be unlikely to develop and grow and be successful as a leader if you‘re not successful at leading inclusively.” –  Sandra Ondraschek-Norris   Guest contact information:  Sandra Ondraschek-Norris Vice President for Global Learning  MARC, Men Advocating Real Change (Catalyst Inc.)

European banks and investors can bring capital and credit to African SMEs.  According to the World Bank, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play vital roles in economies worldwide. Some 90 percent of businesses are SMEs, and SMEs are 50 percent of the world's employers. In Africa, the number is even higher, with SMEs providing 80 percent of its jobs. Yet World Bank figures show that SMEs in Africa and the Global South are far less likely to obtain bank loans, credit, or investment than large firms – suffering from a gaping financing gap.  Mélanie Keïta is the CEO and co-founder of Melanin Kapital, a pan-African impact investment banking platform with offices in Kenya, France, and Germany. In episode #21 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, Keïta speaks on the efforts to connect European credit and capital with entrepreneurs in Africa. The company's mission is to build pathways between SMEs and financial institutions, educating and supporting both to thus lower barriers to financing and improve financial performance and chances for SME business success in Africa.  “It is our generation's burden – but also its responsibility ­– to be able to find a way to change the way economies work, so that we can be able to stay on this planet longer and provide to our children what we've been able to enjoy.” –  Mélanie Keïta  Guest contact information:  Mélanie Keïta  CEO and co-founder, Melanin Kapital   Website: https://melaninkapital.com/  Email: hello@melaninkapital.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melaninkapital/   About Campus 10178 Campus 10178 is Germany's #1 podcast on the business research behind business practice.

Technology should serve the people, requiring trust that our core values will be protected in this new domain. In episode #19 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, we share an ESMT Open Lecture held on March 2, 2022 with Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, director of the Digital Society Institute (DSI) at ESMT Berlin. Using diverse examples from her vast experience as an international cybersecurity expert, Tiirmaa-Klaar demonstrates what is necessary to develop a trustworthy digital society that serves its citizens and illustrates how different stakeholders – including the private sector, policymakers, and academia – can help achieve this goal. She also examines the public policy response necessary to balance out the disparities caused by rapid innovation and the growth of big tech. The lecture ends with a Q&A session moderated by Laurens Cerulus, cybersecurity editor and deputy technology editor at POLITICO Europe.

In our first episode, Stephen Muers and Antonis Schwarz discuss how dormant assets can be leveraged to finance impact. Dormant assets are, for example, bank accounts which haven't been touched for many years and for which the owner cannot be found. In the UK, dormant assets have been used for over a decade to fund social impact investment. Stephen is the CEO of Big Society Capital, the financial institution through which these funds are channeled to investments that generate both a financial and a social return (e.g. social housing). Antonis is a philanthropist and impact investor who has long advocated to use dormant assets to finance impact in Germany. We discuss, amongst others, what political momentum there is for this in Germany in the aftermath of the elections.

Herzlich willkommen liebe Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer zu einer neuen Paperwings Podcastfolge: Heute geht es um das Thema: „Wie komme ich mit Demut zum Erfolg?“ Als Expertin zu diesem Thema habe ich die Autorin und Beraterin Dr. Franziska Frank eingeladen. Führung ausgerichtet an Autorität und Hierarchie ist in einem Arbeitsumfeld, das von Digitalisierung, Globalisierung, demografischen und kulturellen Umwälzungen geprägt ist, nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Führung im 21. Jahrhundert ist komplex – traditionelle Geschäftsmodelle, Arbeitsverhältnisse und Kommunikationsbeziehungen verlangen ein Höchstmaß an Flexibilität, Mobilität und Engagement. Das bedeutet im Gegenzug, dass sich der Druck auf Führungskräfte rapide erhöht.Nach wie vor heißt Führen, Menschen zu bewegen, begeistern und motivieren. Wenn das gelingen soll, wenn wir gemeinsam die großen und kleinen Aufgaben unserer Zeit meistern wollen, braucht es ein neues Führungsverständnis. Übertriebener Egoismus weicht einer dienenden Haltung. Aus Alleinherrschaft wird Gemeinschaft. Aus Unklarheit wird Fokussierung. Aus Hybris wird Demut. Dr. Franziska Frank arbeitet freiberuflich als Trainerin, Keynote Speakerin, Autorin in drei Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch und Russisch. Zusätzlich ist sie Affiliate Program Director an der ESMT Berlin. Für Business Schools und Unternehmen unterrichtet sie zum Thema Einflussnahme in all seinen Facetten: von Demut, Achtsamkeit, Kommunikation über Entscheidungsfindung, Verhandlungsführung bis hin zu „Was jeder Manager über das Gehirn wissen sollte“. Mit 15 Jahren verließ sie ihre Heimatstadt München, um in einem englischen Internat O- und A-Levels abzulegen. Da- nach studierte sie Geschichte in Cambridge (B. A. und M. A.), gefolgt von zwei Prädikatsexamina in Jura in Deutschland. Während ihres Studiums arbeitete sie als freie Journalistin für die Süddeutsche Zeitung und andere Zeitungen. Nach ihrer Doktorarbeit mit Russlandbezug war sie sechs Jahre lang als Unternehmensberaterin bei der Boston Consulting Group tätig, gefolgt von zehn Jahren als festangestellte Programmdirektorin an der ESMT Berlin.

“Businesses can play a major role in contributing to economic, environmental, and social progress, especially when they minimize the adverse impacts of their operations, supply chains, and other business relationships,” states the OECD. But what does it take to gain industry compliance with ambitious international legislative goals for environmental sustainability? And what will it mean if we fail? In episode #16 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, we speak with Heike Hess of the International Association of Natural Textile Industry (IVN) and Alyssa Jade McDonald-Baertl, a board member of the German Federation of Sustainable Economy (BNW). We discuss the great challenges of sustainability and green economy initiatives. These include encouraging a holistic approach to sustainable industry, demanding transparency in supply chain management, creating standards for green production, enforcing business compliance, and innovating for sustainable futures. Also in this paradigm shift: how we must educate diverse stakeholders on the strong business case (and the moral imperative) for going green.

What does the business cybersecurity landscape look like today? Were you to believe Hollywood, it looks like a pimply-faced teen hacker working from a dark basement for a stylish but likeable band of thieves. The realities are far more sinister – involving sophisticated cyber espionage rings backed by nation states using surveillance capitalism, ransomware, and zero-click attacks on financial markets, critical infrastructure, and military defense systems. For companies navigating this, there are additional, significant challenges: namely, underdeveloped (but overhyped) security software, a pervasive talent shortage, and exorbitant costs. And then there are those colleagues who just can't stop clicking on – innocent-appearing but anything-but – cat pictures … In episode #15 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, we speak with Marc Goodman of the Future Crimes Institute and Sandro Gaycken of the Digital Society Institute at ESMT Berlin about how businesses manage (and mismanage) the threats, traps, and realities of cybercrime.

Much has been documented about the role of sexism and racism in reducing opportunities for women and people of color in the corporate world – whether in hiring, compensation, or in advancement to the C-suite and board-level positions or, in the entrepreneurial space, in access to project investments. But, as the song goes, “sisters are doin' it for themselves” to create and share opportunities in the workforce. Born in Nigeria and raised in the US, Deborah Choi has been a successful serial entrepreneur for years. With her first startup – launched while she was finishing her degree at the University of Chicago – Deborah landed on Bloomberg BusinessWeek's top “25 under 25” list. Now living in Berlin, Deborah is the managing director and co-founder of Bosque, a tech-enabled, direct-to-consumer plant startup. In episode #14 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, Deborah speaks about the critical role of mentorship, networks, and investment for female founders and women of color in entrepreneurship.

We hear a lot about “disruption” these days, especially as technology like AI and machine learning transforms traditional sectors like manufacturing. Can disruption be learned?  In Berlin – where the fast-developing startup scene raises comparisons to Silicon Valley – ESMT has launched an entrepreneurship hub. Will it transform a young crop of entrepreneurs into the Germany's next unicorns? Baris Efe is the manager and co-founder of Vali Berlin, the entrepreneurship hub at ESMT. He is a graduate of the 2020 ESMT Berlin Master's in Management program and it's where he and other students started Vali. Baris and Vali Berlin are both now part of the ESMT family, specifically of the Institute for Endowment Management and Entrepreneurial Finance. In episode #13 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, Baris talks about how Vali Berlin was created, the development of its summer entrepreneurship program, and where it fits in Berlin's startup ecosystem.

Join us for a virtual discussion with the three co-authors of Framers, which focuses on the essential tool that can enable humanity to find its way through the challenges of pandemics, populism, AI, ISIS, wealth inequity, climate change, and other worldwide problems that threaten our current civilizations. To frame is to make a mental model that enables us to see patterns, predict how things will unfold, and make sense of new situations. Frames guide the decisions we make and the results we obtain. Science has long focused on traits like memory and reasoning, but has often ignored framing. But with computers becoming better and better at those cognitive tasks, framing stands out as a critical function—and one only humans can do. Illustrating their case with compelling examples and the latest research, Cukier, Mayer-Schönberger and de Véricourt examine: why advice to “think outside the box” is useless; why the Wright brothers, with no formal physics training, were the first to fly; what enabled the 1976 Israeli hostage rescue at Entebbe to succeed; and how the #MeToo twitter hashtag reframed the perception of sexual assault. They also show why framing Covid-19 as equivalent to a seasonal flu failed, and how modeling it on SARS succeeded in New Zealand. Framers shows how framing is not just a way to improve how we make decisions in an era of algorithms, but is also an ever more crucial tool in a time of societal upheaval and machine prosperity.

In an online meeting earlier this year, a high-level executive at KPMG UK said employees should “stop moaning” about the pandemic and dismissed staff fears about proposed salary and pension cuts as “playing the victim.” Although he later apologized to his team for his choice of words, the leaked video of his comments prompted a public outcry and lead to his resignation from the company.

Professor Dr. Jörg Rocholl, President of the ESMT in Berlin joins Sebastian Morgner. The seventeenth episode of the Podcast concerns with the impact of Covid-19 on the academic world and its possible implications for the future of the European Union and the leadership within. After a quick introduction, the conversation starts by addressing the difficulties, schools and universities were faced with during these last few months. In this context, Prof. Dr. Rocholl elaborates on how his institution managed to allow for the continuation of its classes and events, as well as its difficulties to overcome in the beginning of the lockdown. When beingasked if this experience would call for any changes in the curriculum, he strongly agrees and states that from now on it should be a common practice to critically think about unlikely events and how they might affect business as usual. This could allow for better and faster reaction in the future. Thereafter, the discussion turns towards leadership. Prof. Dr. Rocholl claims that in times of crisis, communication is more important than ever. He states that a leader's ability to convey a feeling of shared perception while at the same time remaining in a position of making crucial decisions, is one of the most important management qualities today. With regards to the overarching situation the virus and the consequent lockdown had on the European economy, Prof. Dr. Rocholl argues that contrary to many Chinese and American companies, most local industries have not yet been able to benefit from the current disruption. He believes that the reason for this is the lack of big corporate entities and the resulting reliance on heavily externalised supply chains. In times of crisis when companies prefer to act in self-interest, this leads to longer lead-times and potentially to the collapse of the subsequent value chain. Therefore, he argues for a “European Marshall Plan” that on one hand allows existing businesses to overcome the current economic shock and on the other hand works as an engine for future prosperity by founding promising local start-ups in order to prevent foreign corporate takeovers. At last addressing the issue of sustainability Prof. Dr. Rocholl is convinced that the global perspective is more important than ever. With our current problems not only affecting specific countries but relevant to the entire world, taking united steps for the better must be at the centre of collective action. Since he believes the private sector to play a crucial part in this, he advocates for allocating resources to improve the current system rather than create a new one.

INSS research associate Adi Kantor and Dr. Henning Lahmann, senior researcher at the Digital Society Institute at the ESMT Berlin, analyze how Germany, the leading member of the European Union, is coping with the current coronavirus crisis. How has the pandemic affected Germany's economy and health system? How is Germany balancing the need to maintain public health while protecting individual rights to privacy, freedom of speech, and movement? How can one explain the relatively low mortality rate in Germany? What will the social and political implications of the crisis be – are anti-migrant and extreme political views in the German discourse expected to rise? These and related issues are addressed here.

On November 9, 2019 Germany marked 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and 81 years since Kristallnacht. Decades later, it seems that right wing extremism and anti-semitism are returning to mainstream political and social discourse. Latest election results in several former East German states, as well as the attack on a synagogue in Halle on Yom Kippur 2019, show a clear rise in racist, xenophobic and anti-semitic views in the German society, and growing support for the far right party Alternative for Germany. This is a dangerous political development, in which German Jews (as well as other minorities) are under attack, yet again excluded from their own society. INSS research associate Adi Kantor and Dr. Henning Lahmann, senior researcher at the Digital Society Institute at the ESMT Berlin, discuss what has changed in German society in recent years, why does the AfD receive so much sympathy from voters, what is the effect of social media on the spread of anti-semitism and right wing extremism, and how can German law tackle these phenomena?
