Christoph Gollasch

About

Christoph Gollasch examines the contradictory dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion. He recently completed his doctoral dissertation at the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism (TU Berlin). The topic was the debate on anti-Semitism surrounding the art exhibition documenta fifteen. In his research project at the Weizenbaum Institute, he is exploring the relevance and scope of established tools in the study of authoritarianism. He is particularly interested in how antisemitism is measured in a post-migration society and what consequences these measurements have.

Gollasch studied social and political sciences at the University of Leipzig, in Edinburgh, Be’er Sheva, and at the Free University of Berlin. His historiographical engagement with National Socialism ultimately led him to the Center for Research on Antisemitism. Today, he is particularly interested in the lingering effects of Nazi history and its instrumentalization. In addition to political theory, discourse theories are therefore of great importance to him.

His historical articles have been published by Metropol, among others; his sociological articles by Campus; and his political science articles by Dietz. Christoph Gollasch is a member of the German Sociological Association, the Education and Science Union, and the Active Museum of Fascism and Resistance.
