Interdisciplinary Studies of the Paderborn Graduate Centre for Cultural Studies
Editors: Sabiene Autsch, Andrea Becher and Volker Peckhaus
The new series "Interdisciplinary Studies of the Paderborn Graduate Centre for Cultural Studies" takes into account research work that has emerged in the context of the Graduate Centre of the Faculty of Cultural Studies at Paderborn University (GKW). The volumes consistently specify the epistemic potential of interdisciplinary work derived from the research findings. Interdisciplinarity is not merely understood as the compilation of research findings from different disciplinary perspectives. Rather, it relates these perspectives and thus broadens horizons. The series claims to stand at the intersection of academic research and reflection on one's own academic practice by focusing on the particularities of one's own disciplinary perspective and knowledge culture. The aim of the series is to provide a thematically open platform for different approaches within interdisciplinary cultural studies.

Volume 1: Knowledge Transfer. Task, Challenge and Opportunity of Cultural Studies Research
Editors: Anda-Lisa Harmening, Stefanie Leinfellner, Rebecca Meier
The term knowledge transfer has become increasingly important in recent years. It refers to the circulation of knowledge between systems, organisations or parties, for example between universities and society. This does not 'only' mean the transfer of scientific knowledge into social contexts, but rather - beyond the acquisition and transfer of knowledge - the dialogue and discourse formation between science and society. This volume takes a look at the emerging tasks, challenges and opportunities of cultural studies research. Contrary to the assumption that projects from the field of cultural studies would remain in the realm of the abstract, it presents examples of research in cultural studies that take theory and practice into account and illustrate the interlocking of theoretical findings and their participation in social discourses.
