Yet such initial consternation quickly fades in the face of considerable global [...]

Focus: Interdisciplinarity in Research Groups

Our research group brings together five disciplines and subdisciplines. Even in the genesis of our research application, group members gained deepening awareness of their different disciplinary cultures – in terms of research questions, methods and privileged analytic procedures. “Knowledge” simply takes on different forms depending on whether one works within law, economics, cultural anthropology, or ethnology. Science and technology studies (STS) is used here to cast a glance at such difficulties. The STS-approach helps to grasp the difficulties of interdisciplinarity (deriving from heterogenous research traditions) as a potential for success.
