OLD: Wednesday discussions 2013

Every other Wednesday, the members and associates of the project as well as others who are interested meet at 2pm at the project's premises at Hansastrasse 9 in order to discuss current texts on the circulation of knowledge, and to present research projects. 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 will come 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.
