Research group "Voluntariness" invites you to a research day

Over the past three years, the "Voluntariness" research group has reached conceptual milestones, completed subprojects and developed new focal points for funding phase 2. At the same time, a wide range of research contacts have been established that extend beyond the group itself. At the "Voluntariness" research day, projects are now to be networked with each other that deal with voluntariness as a subject of analysis or would like to do so more intensively in the future.

In addition to the perspectives of the research group, the research day also offers space for external colleagues to present their own research questions on the concept and practice of voluntariness. In a joint discussion, approaches to voluntariness will be compared, content-related interfaces between the participating projects highlighted and synergies explored.

Anyone interested in taking part in the all-day programme is asked to register by email: fg.freiwilligkeit@uni-erfurt.de by 27 May 2024 at the latest. For the evening lecture by Jule Govrin on the topic "Engagiert und ausgebeutet? Freiwilligkeit zwischen community-kapitalistischer Arbeit und Solidarität als emanzipativer Praxis" (Engaged and exploited? Volunteering between community-capitalist labour and solidarity as emancipative practice), guests are welcome to attend without registering.
