Organisation profile

The School of Culture and Society continues an almost thirty-year tradition of teaching and research in cultural studies at Leuphana University of Lüneburg.  At the faculty, more than one hundred scholars from disciplines such as art history, literary studies, media studies, philosophy, sociology, geography and history teach and conduct research in a total of five institutes. The faculty currently offers three majors ("Cultural Studies," "Studium Individuale", and "Digital Media") and four minors ("Philosophy," "Digital Media / Information Technology and Culture", and "Studium Individuale") at Leuphana College and four master's degrees ("Critical Studies - Arts - Theory - History", "Media and Digital Cultures", "Culture and Organization" and "Theory and History of Modernity").

Topics

Die Wissenschaftsinitiative Kulturforschung fragt nach den historischen und kulturellen Grundlagen, Praktiken und Werten der Zivilgesellschaft im 21. Jahrhundert. Aus der Perspektive der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften verbindet die Initiative zwei anwendungsorientierte Forschungsschwerpunkte (Kunst & visuelle Kultur, Medienkultur & Kommunikation) mit einem starken Kernbereich Integrativer Kulturforschung. Beteiligt sind derzeit etwa 20 Professuren aus den Disziplinen Kunst, Medien, Philosophie, Geschichte, Literatur, Soziologie, Politik, Informatik und Geographie/Raumwissenschaft.
