In the Gotha Research Library, there is a geographically arranged 'Catalogus amicorum in Germania', which served the Philadelphians as a starting point for their German mission, together with a volume of letters from this group. In addition, there are important holdings in other archives which have also received little attention from scientists. Based on these sources, the project will reconstruct the early network of the Philadelphians between England and Germany as well as the social and…

Patrick Rössler: The importance of pictoral representations in the process of political communications is undisputed, but little is known about the standards of media image reporting in the first half of the 20th century. The aim of the proposed research project is therefore identifying empirically supported findings on longer, possibly even decades-spanning developments in this area, in order to arrive at statements about continuities and discontinuities in visual political communication and to…

Furthermore, in addition to the critical edition of the manuscript, contributions to situating these texts in local and contemporary discourses will be developed, which will serve to prepare a theoretical monograph on issues of…

Valentina Cuzzocrea: The research line I will develop while at MWK intends to explore contextually notions of time and space in the transitions to adulthood, elaborating on the contribute that social theory can bring to the study of young people and critically assessing the ‘mobility turn’ discourse in view of the fundamental need of young find for themselves a place in the (adults) world. This work is intended to be preparatory for further empirical investigations on this theme.

voLeA-TraIn (follow-up funding to voLeA) is a joint project funded by the BMBF between medical didactics (TU Munich) and empirical educational research (University of Erfurt). In the Erfurt subproject, the video-based Situational Judgment Test for medical interviewing developed in the first funding phase is being transferred to other medical faculties and expanded to include feedback features.
The project brings together perspectives from communication science, sociology, psychology and educational research to answer the overarching question of how research communication and journalism should best deal with uncertainty in science. To this end, quality criteria and ways of presenting scientific uncertainty based on them will be worked out and tested with the participation of journalists, science communicators and citizens. Successful communication of uncertainty should 1) create an…
