Universitätskultur(en) jenseits der Fachgeschichte

Overview & Synopsis

The third volume of the Kieler Studien zur Universitäts- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte (KSUW) is dedicated to the research of the History Department of Kiel University on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. In the sense of a contemporary university history, the volume looks beyond the pure subject discipline and turns to hitherto little-noticed, but never marginal, subject areas. Students, young scholars, and established scholars present their studies on the everyday history of various groups around the History Department: In addition to history professors, the focus is also on those status groups that are often overlooked by established university historiography, such as female academics and secretaries or students. The topic of ›memory‹ and the critical examination of it is reflected in many of the articles.
