Gotha Research Centre starts the winter semester with a new programme

The Gotha Research Centre at the University of Erfurt is once again starting the 2025/26 winter semester with a varied programme.

Professor Johannes Grave (Jena), who will discuss the concept of social imagination with regard to the underlying (image) practices, and Dr Andrew McKenzie-McHarg (Rome), who researches conspiracy thinking, will be among the speakers. The historian of science Professor Anke te Heesen (Berlin), the art historian Professor Jürgen Müller (Dresden) and Professor Franziska Neumann and Professor Johannes Wienand (Early Modern and Ancient History, Braunschweig) are also expected to give lectures. In January 2026, the long-standing director of the research centre, Professor Martin Mulsow, will give his farewell lecture at the University of Erfurt. And the Intellectual History colloquium will once again be discussing the projects of scholarship holders and visiting scholars this semester.
