Conspiracy Theories, Nationalism and Extremism During COVID with Dr. Johannes Kiess, Researcher

Johannes is a political sociologist at the University of Siegen and holds a PhD in sociology (Siegen) as well as an M.A. in political science from Leipzig University. In his research he focuses on a variety of issues including right-wing extremism, political mobilization, civic education, Europeanization, and trade unions. The common denominator of his work is to ask how people make sense of the world out there. Johannes lives in Leipzig with his family where he moved with his parents as a teenager. Born in Rockville, MD he enjoys contributing to transatlantic exchange and learning and hopes that the Covid-19 pandemic will at some point allow again for international traveling.
