Interdisciplinary research
Major area
Research is increasingly focussing on interdisciplinarity. As philosophy and theology enter into dialogue with other disciplines, new interfaces are created that offer numerous opportunities for further scientific development. Interdisciplinary research and thus the integrative approach of such research projects opens up new perspectives and promotes a deeper understanding of complex issues.

Feminismen. Positionen und Perspektiven | Feminisms. Positions and Perspectives
Edited by Gloria Dell`Eva, Anne Weber, Veronika Weidner
Feminist perspectives are not only part of the self-image of integrative sciences but are now firmly anchored in discourses in the humanities and social sciences. In recent years, feminist-oriented research projects have also been funded, positions established and disciplines developed in philosophy and theology in the German-speaking world. At the same time, initiatives identified as feminist have repeatedly experienced a socio-politically and religiously motivated backlash, insofar as they have been explicitly or subtly discredited. The series of publications Feminisms. Positions and Perspectives aims to promote the visibility of systematically oriented philosophical and theological monographs and anthologies which, in their elaboration of feminist theses, encourage an epistemologically nuanced and ethically committed formation of judgement and thus strengthen constructively critical contemporaneity.

Vulnerabilität, Vulneranz, Resilienz | Vulnerability, Vulnerance, Resilience
Edited by Hildegund Keul, Thomas Müller, Maike Schult
Editorial Board: Christian Bauer, Claudia Bruns, Jörn Müller, Caroline Schmitt, Hella von Unger, David Zimmermann
Dealing with vulnerability and striving for resilience characterise personal, social, political and religious life. At the same time, the potential of vulnerability and resilience for vulnerance – i.e. their possibly violent nature – is underestimated or suppressed. People often react to experiences of vulnerability with either vulnerance or with affection, care and solidarity. Resilience, on the other hand, develops in creative processes, but can also be generated by vulnerance and cause harm to others.
It is the task of interdisciplinary research to analyse the multiple power effects of vulnerability, resilience and vulnerance in their ambivalence and complexity. The bilingual series Vulnerabilität, Vulneranz, Resilienz / Vulnerability, Vulnerance, Resilience is dedicated to this important, socially relevant task. It analyses the aforementioned processes in relation to areas such as migration, right-wing populism, democracy, climate change, sexuality, gender and many more, and also examines the role of physical and psychological trauma.
High-quality monographs, university theses and anthologies can be submitted for consideration for inclusion in the series. They can originate from a single subject or be interdisciplinary.
