The interaction between people under conditions of different cultural influences and practices, the communicative challenges based on cultural similarities and differences are the focus of intercultural research.
Questions such as "How can culture be understood and conceptualised in today's complexity?" and "How does understanding succeed or fail?" lead to concrete topics that offer support and food for thought for current social issues. For example, our doctoral researchers are currently investigating how events such as the corona pandemic are presented in an international context, what role translations play in an intercultural context, for example in the context of refugee movements, or asking what resources lie in non-understanding.
