Scholarship Description: Rechtskulturen (‘legal cultures’) is a Berlin-based postdoctoral
research program which is designed to explore the law in new and innovative
ways. We intend to create a space of reflection and communication where
fundamental and salient questions of the law and its context(s) can be
re-negotiated from a variety of disciplinary and regional perspectives, and
re-connected with jurisprudence and legal methodology. The program
Rechtskulturen is directed by Susanne Baer (Bundesverfassungsgericht/
Humboldt-Universität), Christoph Möllers
(Humboldt-Universität/Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin) and Alexandra Kemmerer
(Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin), and is supported by an international group of
scholars.
