RexWiHo – Countering Far-Right Extremism in Academia and Higher Education

The joint project RexWiHo, conducted by Philipps-Universität Marburg and Europa-Universität Flensburg, examines far-right tendencies in higher education. The Marburg strand focuses on teacher training and analyses how universities address challenges posed by revisionism, antisemitism, and anti-feminism. Students and teachers at five universities are surveyed, with the aim of systematising options for action and formulating recommendations for higher education institutions and the training of democratically engaged teachers.

Project duration: December 2024 – November 2027
Funding: Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR)
Principal investigator: Prof. Dr. Christina Brüning
