IDK- Rethinking Environment
In German, Um(Welt)Denken is a wordplay combining the term “environment” (Umwelt) with the verb “rethinking” (umdenken). The project’s name comes from the need to rethink human relationships with the world we, as a species, inhabit. A partnership between Augsburg University and the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, the international doctorate program (Internationales Doktorand:innenkolleg – IDK) Rethinking Environment brings together young scholars and experienced experts from various fields to explore new ways of approaching the ecological transformation of society.
Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society
The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC) is an international center dedicated to the study of environment and society from a wealth of different disciplines and international perspectives. A nonprofit institution, the RCC was founded in 2009 as a joint initiative of Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and the Deutsches Museum, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as a Center for Advanced Study (Käte Hamburger Kolleg). The RCC has since evolved into a permanent center directed by LMU Munich’s Chair in American Cultural History. It features various graduate programs: a structured doctoral program “Environment and Society” (ProEnviron), an MA certificate in Environmental Studies, a newly introduced MA in Environment in Society, and the International Doctoral Program (IDK) Rethinking Environment. The Center hosts numerous research projects, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the European Research Council (ERC), the Volkswagen Foundation, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), among others. It also hosts visiting scholars, international Landhaus Fellows, and visiting doctoral students. The Center’s over 300 postdoctoral and professorial alumni have formed the Society of Fellows.
CRC 1369 “Cultures of Vigilance”
The CRC 1369 “Cultures of Vigilance” aims to research the historical and cultural foundations of vigilance. Within this context, “vigilance” refers to a linking of individual attentiveness to goals set by others. This linking occurs on an everyday basis, be it in the realm of public security, religion, law, or the healthcare sector; wherever and whenever we are asked to pay attention to something specific and, if necessary, also to react to, or report anything we have noticed in a specific way. The CRC’s goal is to analyse the history, cultural variations and current forms of this phenomenon.
