Workshopreihe "Religiöses Wissen in der Welt der Frühen Neuzeit" (Cambridge–Tübingen Workshops)
Seit 2014 richten die Faculty of History der University of Cambridge und das Seminar für Neuere Geschichte der Universität Tübingen in einer Kooperation zwischen Prof. Dr. Ulinka Rublack und Prof. Dr. Renate Dürr die Workshopreihe "Religiöses Wissen in der Welt der Frühen Neuzeit" (Religious Knowledge in the Early Modern World) aus. 2014 bis 2018 wurde diese Kooperation vom DAAD Cambridge Forschungszentrum für Deutschland-Studien gefördert.
Ein jährlicher thematischer Workshop bietet DozentInnen, PostdoktorandInnen und DoktorandInnen der beiden Universitäten die Gelegenheit, ihre Forschung vorzustellen, sich mit den unterschiedlichen akademischen Traditionen vertraut zu machen sowie internationale wissenschaftliche Netzwerke auf- und auszubauen. Dabei verstehen sich die Veranstaltungen als interdisziplinäres Forum, das neben Historikern auch Vertreter andererer Disziplinen wie Ethnologie, Germanistik, Islamwissenschaft und Theologie einbezieht und so den Dialog über Fächergrenzen hinweg fördert.
