Online event: Emotion-filled discussions – an opportunity to shape the future?

on Tuesday, 14 January 2025 at 8.00 p.m.

The speaker is Maren Urner. She looks at the topic from the perspective of a brain researcher and has a refreshing take on the subject: while feelings are often taboo in political debates, as a scientist she takes the opposite view.

Based on the latest scientific findings, it analyses how emotions work in politics and provides tools for dealing with them better in the mind and brain. Only those who are emotionally prepared can answer the big questions of our time of crisis.

Prof Dr Maren Urner is a neuroscientist and has been Professor of Sustainable Transformation at Münster University of Applied Sciences since September 2024. Her most recent book was « Radikal emotional: Wie Gefühle Politik machen » (Droemer 2024). She is the winner of the 2023 B.A.U.M. Environmental and Sustainability Award in the Science category.
