MISSVERSTEHEN SIE MICH RICHTIG – Hendrik Streeck zu Gast bei Ulrike Herrmann
Streeck polarizes opinion because he combines scientific expertise with a political presence and takes a stand at the intersection of research, the public sphere, and politics.
Ulrike Herrmann—bestselling author and editor at *taz*—is one of Germany’s most prominent business journalists: analytical, outspoken, and combative, with a scope that extends far beyond the topics of economics and climate change.
In “MISSVERSTEHEN SIE MICH RICHTIG,” Hendrik Streeck is a guest of Ulrike Herrmann. Science meets political analysis; health policy practice meets journalistic scrutiny. The result is a fascinating exchange between two strong public voices who do not shy away from contradiction. Those in attendance will experience an evening that is as incisive as it is insightful.
Note: Since the event will be recorded, by entering the venue you grant the organizers the right to use audio and video recordings of yourself free of charge and without geographical restrictions.
