Description
In the podcast series “Us and Them,” Heidelberg University’s Graduate School for the Humanities and Social Sciences (HGGS) explores how divisions between groups emerge and shape societies across cultural, political, and historical contexts. Drawing on their research, professors, doctoral researchers, and experts discuss how boundaries are formed, identities constructed, and power negotiated across disciplines, from history and literature to sociology, philosophy, law, economics and beyond. Tune in as we discuss how this theme resonates in diverse cultural, political, and theoretical contexts.
