Summerforum 2024 Bridges and Crossings

In June 2024, the HGGS invited doctoral candidates, postdocs and professors from Germany and abroad to take part in the ‘’Bridges and Crossings‘’ forum. Participants from 25 different countries gave presentations on how different bridges and transitions are formed to discuss the intersections of identity and culture. It was up for debate how research in the humanities, law and social sciences both challenges and incorporates bridges and transitions within their own positioning. To promote international mobility, the HGGS awarded travel grants to doctoral researchers from eight different countries. 

HGGS members and invited scholars experimented with different formats to express and communicate scholarly insights, including a traditional PPT presentation, a flash talk video presentation and a creative output of their research (poetry, photography, collage) compiled in a zine and presented at the forum.
