Wednesday discussions 2014
Through the year 2014 the Wednesday Discussion Rounds only will take place sporadically. If you are interested in participating, please contact us.
Aim of the meetings
The Wednesday's discussions give members and associates of the projects, as well as others who are interested a regular forum for scholarly exchange and discussion. They provide a framework for presentations of research projects and the development of a common knowledge of texts that serves as a basis for discussion.
The regular meetings also aim at strengthening and extending the research networks at the University of Freiburg. Furthermore, the discussions and presentations provide further possibilities to tie-in international fellows and students involved in the project.
The periodical meetings came to an end by mid-2013. Our project is limited to June 2014, and in this last year the members of our research team have to complete their partial research projects. There may be single discussion rounds or presentations on an occasional basis, which will be announced here and via mailing list.
