The Societal Change Forum (SCF) is dedicated to relevant research topics in the field of humanities and social sciences that contribute to understanding societal transformation processes. Whether it's the climate crisis, migration, technological progress, populism or pandemic threats - in recent years, the conflictual nature of social discourse has come into focus. However, it is important to understand that social change in the present should not only be understood as a dissolution phenomenon. Rather, the question arises of how to deal with future challenges in the field of tension between polarization and stabilization. The humanities and social sciences in particular develop common conceptual and comparative heuristics in response to these tensions, but also in interdisciplinary connection with the numerous disciplines of TU Dresden. Therefore, the Societal Change Forum of the summer semester 2023 brings together lectures from the fields of philosophy, psychology, economics, and sociology. Through questions about migration, pacifism, intergenerational justice or the role of algorithms, this year's forum aims to be a discussion format for presenting and establishing diverse approaches within the participating disciplines of TU Dresden.
