Peer Mentoring is a forum for thematically-focused research within the Graduate School. HGGS members are encouraged to establish study groups in order to research key concepts of the humanities, law or social sciences and to interconnect through their work with scholars from different research cultures. Peer Mentoring groups can be supported by professors, postdocs or professionals from different fields in Germany, Europe or abroad. The results of the intensive research projects will be made accessible to other members of the HGGS and to a wider public through exhibitions, publications, conferences, workshops, podcasts and/or other formats. The Graduate School can grant its members financial and logistic support of PhD-driven initiatives originating in the HGGS.

»HGGS ZINE«

 

At the Summer Forum, HGGS members and invited scholars experimented with different visions of expressing and communicating scholarly findings, including a classical paper presentation,  a flash-talk video presentation, or creative output of their research (poetry, photography, collage work) that was compiled by members of the graduate school in a zine and shared at the Forum.

HGGS - HCTS Peer Group “Body, Crossings” 

 

We consider “Body” and “Crossings” as two keywords that can lead to productive discussions that enrich our understanding of various disciplines, including, but not limited to, gender studies, history, visual arts, and anthropology. Anchored by our primary interest in feminist theories and Asian studies, we aim to expand our frames of investigation through conversations with scholars from diverse backgrounds. The reading group would be open to PhD candidates from all fields, and it will take place on a weekly or bi-weekly basis depending on the preference of the participants.

The Spectre Haunting Academia

 

The aim of this conference was to situate the rise of the Far-Right in conjunction with academic spaces and practices i.e., to understand the macroscopic role Academia has in producing, challenging, and responding to the proliferation of this adaptive ideology. How do scholarly practices and the Far-right interact? How do Far-right governments impact Academia, both nationally and globally? Why are Academia’s responses to and/or co-options by the Far-right so culturally impactful? This is just a selection of questions the conference addressed, especially in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, whose engagement with the Far-right has been historically more pervasive.

 

This conference was addressed specifically to researchers, PhD candidates, and final-semester Master students from 4EU+ partner universities. Researchers from other universities were also welcome. The conference took place at Heidelberg University on 3-4 Sept. 2022.
