Workshop 3

Social Mobilisations, Mass Movements and Protest in Pandemic Times

25.03.2021

The third workshop “Social Movements, Mass Mobilisations & Protest in the Pandemic” will focus on the various uprisings and popular mobilisations that emerged off- and online against repression and more broadly government measures during the pandemic.

From conspiracy movements in Germany and the digital space, to political uprisings in India, Indonesia and Colombia, speakers will address the complex implications of mass mobilisations during a public health crisis.
