Annual Report 2022
2022 was an eventful year for the Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Legal Unity and Pluralism”, and not only because its second year of existence saw the return of staff to working on site after the pandemic. Above all, the move to new premises helped us come closer to our overarching aim: namely, to be a site of interdisciplinary exchange, while providing time and space for outstanding research. The annual report provides many insights into the year 2022: we were able to organise successful workshops and conferences, including the large annual conference on “Exception and Plurality”, and launched our first publications, especially the steadily expanding “Münster Glossary on Legal Unity and Pluralism”. But above all we were once again able to welcome to Münster many new fellows with exciting research projects.
Annual Report 2021
2021 was a year marked by new beginnings for the new Käte Hamburger Kolleg "Legal Unity and Pluralism". In June, the Kolleg began its work. Only a month later, we welcomed our first fellows. In addition to a review of the past year, the annual report offers insights into the thematically diverse research at the Kolleg through project presentations and detailed interviews. A total of eleven fellows and three junior fellows from the humanities conducted research at the Kolleg in 2021 on topics from the field of legal unity and pluralism. The projects covered a wide epochal breadth, ranging from legal practices in ancient Mediterranean trade and the English kings’ power to pardon in the late Middle Ages to the coordination of indigenous and state rights in contemporary Colombia.
