Berlin Demography Days 2025: Demography and Democracy (10/27/25 – 10/28/25)

Berlin Demography Days 2025: Demography and Democracy

Save the date: 27 and 28 October 2025

The electoral successes of anti-democratic movements cannot be explained solely by the demographic or socio-economic characteristics of individual groups. More decisive are local perceptions of problems and narratives of loss in the context of demographic change. These manifest in a perceived political overload, blame and the supposed failure of ‘established’ politics.

Together with experts from academia, political foundations, and governments, we analyse these demographic trends and discuss practical solutions at the regional and local level.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event.

*New* UC Berkeley Webinar on Research and Teaching About Race, Ethnicity, and Migration in These Times (09/29/25)

UC Berkeley Sociology is hosting a seminar on September 29, from 2-3:30 pm PT in 402 Social Science Building and online on Zoom here.  The recent authoritarian turn in American politics presents various challenges for scholars working in the US, including the repression of individual scholars, attacks on DEI, our research and higher education more generally. This panel will feature three sociologists whose scholarship and teaching touches on question of race, ethnicity, and/or migration to discuss how scholars are and should be responding to these threats. Panelists include Cristina Mora, Jenna Nobles, and Michael Rodriquez-Muñiz, and Cybelle Fox will moderate. Join via Zoom here.
