Public panel discussion of the Junges Kolleg Greifswald with Dr. Hartmut Bettin (Greifswald) and Charlotte Püttmann M. A. (Cologne)

Public panel discussion of the Junges Kolleg Greifswald with Dr. Hartmut Bettin (Greifswald) and Charlotte Püttmann M. A. (Cologne) as part of the event series "From Archaeology to Activism"

Science creates knowledge, activism strives for political change. To what extent can or must science help shape social change processes? When does it come into conflict with its own self-image? And where are the boundaries between scientific knowledge and activist action? We want to explore these questions in a panel discussion preceded by keynote speeches.

Dr. phil. Hartmut Bettin is a medical historian and was acting head of the Institute for Ethics and History of Medicine at Greifswald University Hospital for many years. He is also deputy chairman of the Clinical Ethics Committee and is involved in the Scientific Staff Council. His research interests include medical ethics in the GDR and the USSR, the local history of medicine and ethical issues in dentistry.

Charlotte Püttmann is a research associate in the Department of Art Theory at the University of Cologne, specializing in critical migration research and materialist-queerfeminist art studies and practice. Charlotte Püttmann is a board member of the Ulmer Verein.
