The EUROPAST project invites you to a public lecture of Michael Bernhard, the inaugural holder of the Raymond and Miriam Ehrlich Eminent Scholar Chair in Political Science at the University of Florida. The event will be moderated by prof. Violeta Davoliūtė.

Professor Bernhard will focus on the regime histories, memory politics and anti-foreigner violence. Using novel data on anti-foreigner violence in post-unification Germany from 1992 to 2021, he will address how memory policies aim at reconciling with past historical violence and influence present-day anti-foreigner violence.

Bernhard’s academic work centers on questions of democratization and development both globally and in the context of Europe. Among the issues in his research agenda are the role of civil society in democratization, institutional choice in new democracies, the political economy of democratic survival, and the legacy of extreme forms of dictatorship.
