Social psychological research demonstrates that racism and discrimination are prevalent in Germany and Europe more broadly, and the United Nations have repeatedly noted that Germany fails to adequately address racism, xenophobia, and discrimination. However, in response to the history of racially motivated persecution and genocide, since 1945, Germany, and Europe more broadly, have adopted a post-racialist attitude and conversation about 'race' and ethnicity are complicated, complex, and mostly taboo. How then do researchers approach studying 'race', racism and discrimination in Germany, and Europe more broadly? And what can their approaches teach the global community of psychologists about the transferability and context-dependency of research on culture, ethnicity and 'race'? In addressing itself to these questions, this interactive panel discussion brings together Dr. Ursula Moffitt (Wheaton College, USA), Dr. Johanna M. Lukate (Max-Planck-Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany), Elizabeth Kaneza (DeZIM Institute, Germany) and Zeynep Demir (Bielefeld University, Germany) who will draw on their own research on 'race', racism and discrimination in Germany to discuss the sociohistorical context of Germany and implications for the study of racism and discrimination in the context of Germany specifically, and Europe more broadly.
