The Keynote Speaker
Matthias Middell is Professor of Cultural History and Director of the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe) at the Leipzig University. He is spokesman of the collaborative research centre 1199 “Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition” and co-spokesman of the Leibniz Science Campus “Eastern Europe - Global Area.” After historical work investigating counter-revolutionary strategies at the end of the 18th century, he has turned to the study of world historiography in the 20th century, building on this to develop a broad research agenda for the emerging field of Global Studies.
The RISC Annual Conference 2023
The Annual Conference 2023 of the Research Institute Social Cohesion took place from Thursday, September 14 to Saturday, September 16 in Leipzig and explored the question of how social cohesion and its discursive production vary historically and regionally. The formulation of the conference title “Social cohesion as a global guiding concept” takes up the observation that “social cohesion” and “societal cohesion”, together with their variants in many other languages, have gained prominence in recent years and have taken a remarkable ascent to become a basic social concept.
