We welcome the first Fellows
On 1 June 2021, the new Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Legal Unity & Pluralism” (EViR) in Münster started its work. In the years to come, we will examine the issue of legal pluralism in various societies from antiquity to the present from different perspectives. Through interdisciplinary discussions, we aim to gain new insights into the dynamic relationship between legal unity and pluralism.
Now we are especially looking forward to welcoming our first fellows. From 1 July, eight scholars from all over the world will conduct research at the Kolleg – and others will follow during the next months. Due to the still noticeable effects of the pandemic, we will initially come together for the various work and discussion formats in a purely digital manner. Intensive exchange is still possible – thanks to modern online tools. In addition to the regular “Tea Time” and joint Reading Sessions, the weekly Fellow Lectures will provide insights into the respective research projects.
The following fellows will start their work at the Kolleg on 1 July:
