New Research Unit: „Political Epistemologies of Central and Eastern Europe (PECEE)"

The international research initiative „Political Epistemologies of Central and Eastern Europe (PECEE)" has been acknowledged as a research unit by the University of Erfurt!

In its meeting on December 6, 2023, the Presidential Board of UE decided to establish an internal research unit "Political Epistemologies of Central and Eastern Europe (PECEE)". The research unit investigates modes of (self-)reflexivity in the history of the sciences and the humanities. Eastern, Central, and South-Eastern Europe have served as a starting point to gain a perspective on the interconnectedness of historical theories, practices and figures of knowledge production – “epistemologies” – within their political environments.
