Fired for a Bestselling Book That Was Right: with Ulrike Guérot
Description
🔴 Fired by her own university for a book that turned out to be right — political scientist Ulrike Guérot on how dissent became a punishable offence in Germany.
When the University of Bonn publicly distanced itself from one of its own professors ten days after she published a book questioning the official Ukraine narrative, it wasn't an academic dispute. It was a warning shot. Three years and four courtrooms later, Ulrike Guérot is at Germany's Constitutional Court — and her case is no longer about her.
In this conversation we sit with the uncomfortable question underneath the headlines: what happens to a democracy when disagreement gets reclassified as disloyalty? Guérot argues the machinery now exists to make critics disappear quietly — from the balance sheet, from the faculty, from the conversation — and that most people won't notice until it reaches them.
Recorded the day before the Saxony-Anhalt election, with Germany's political ground visibly shifting beneath both of us.
