Discussion and Q&A
Prof. Mahlmann and other guests discuss the issue of civil disobedience (Podcast from February 2nd 2023). The podcast is part of the series "Terra X History". Considering the famous speech of the US civil rights activist Martin Luther Kind from 1963, they discuss what civil disobedience is, how it is different from political resistance and why it is important - especially in a democracy. The podcast can be listened on Spotify or on the website of ZDF.
