Research staff
The Collaborative Research Center 923 "Threatened Order. Societies under Stress" is home to around 60 researchers who are working in a total of 18 projects. Our team takes multiple perspectives into account, which is why our staff consists of, for example, historians, political scientists, legal scholars, sociologists, cultural scientists, literary scholars, theologians and philologists. In more than 30 individual projects they investigate research questions regarding different "Threatened Orders".
