The event is hosted in cooperation with Dr. Julia Diederich, Jessica Fischer, and Rebecca Meier, who represent the Graduate Forum of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and Dr. Vera Uppenkamp as a postdoc representative. It will entail a graduate conference of the Graduate Forum (GFKW), during which PhD candidates and postdocs of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities will give presentations, as well as information offers, networking rounds, workshops, and keynote lectures. Furthermore, researchers can discuss their current projects in the form of pitch presentations. The different events of the second Week for Junior Academics will be framed by presentations and discussions of cultural studies research on the topic of Data, Culture, Society: Understanding and Shaping Complex Transformations.
