Study and teaching

General information on teaching

The planning, design and appropriation of spaces in modern and contemporary history are at the centre of this research area. As the professorship holder is also head of the research focus "Contemporary History and Archives" at the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space in Erkner near Berlin, the proximity to sources of architectural, building and planning history as well as to projects with digital history and citizen science approaches is a special feature of the teaching. The inclusion of current research projects in teaching is an important goal of the Professorship.
The portal of the research focus "Contemporary History and Archives" at the Leibniz Centre for Research on Society and Space offers a place to explore history.
