In the summer semester, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg is organising three academic workshops with international participation. The programme focuses on the relationship between law and space, human rights activism in Southeast Europe and pre-modern procedures.

The Käte Hamburger Kolleg is participating in this year's exhibition on the "MS Wissenschaft" with a self-developed exhibit. The exhibition ship will drop anchor in around 30 cities in Germany and Austria from tomorrow. On board, everything revolves around freedom, the theme of the Year of Science 2024.

Since December 2023, at least 45 people have died in Angola after consuming a liquid substance intended to determine the validity of sorcery accusations. Anthropologist João Figueiredo explores the history of sorcery beliefs in Angola and the mbulungo ordeal responsible for the recent deaths. He also argues in favour of legal remedies informed by legal pluralism.

The Käte Hamburger Kolleg warmly welcomes a new cohort of fellows in April. Seven scholars from the fields of history, law, anthropology and sociology will be researching the topic of legal unity and legal pluralism and enriching the Kolleg with their different perspectives. On "Welcome Day" (29 April), there is the opportunity to meet them.
