Kieler Woche – Kieler Uni Live

Populism and Fascism

Datum: 24. Juni 2026

Uhrzeit: 22:00-23:00 Uhr

Ort: Kiellinie 5, 24105 Kiel

What are the differences between populism and fascism, and where do they intersect? In this lecture, Prof. Carlos de la Torre from the University of Florida in Gainesville, who’s a leading expert on populism research and currently a visiting scholar at Kiel University, addresses these questions. He examines core elements such as notions of “the people,” leadership styles, and political practice. The discussion also explores how both phenomena relate to democracy, from invoking the will of the people to its gradual undermining.
