The common focus of research planning and development in the Department of Cultural Studies is the thematic field "Transformations of the Cultural: Disciplinary Strengthening and Interdisciplinary Profiling". This presents a comprehensive and differentiated spectrum from high-level individual research on an increasing third-party funding basis and with broad regional, national and international networking to disciplinary strengthening and interdisciplinary profiling in the research fields of "media change", "transculturality, normativity and religious change" and "mediation and knowledge change".
