Social Sciences

Edited by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfram Reiss and Prof. Dr. Ulrike Bechmann

Religions and interreligious relations play an increasingly important role in society, in national politics and in many international conflicts. The series aims to address topics that are of current political relevance. It questions common distorted images and prejudices, analyses the discourse on religious topics and provides background information on the history of religion in fields of conflict in European and non-European countries in order to make the breadth of knowledge in religious studies and social sciences on a current topic heard in society and politics.

The series serves as a platform for young scholars from various disciplines who intend their research to make a practical contribution to religious discourse on current issues.

At the University of Koblenz-Landau, the establishment of a regular public lecture series by the Department of Cultural and Social Sciences is an integral part of the event culture.

In lecture series, interdisciplinary topics are examined from the perspective of a wide range of disciplines.

The Landau Contributions to Cultural and Social History is a new series that aims to document the results of these lecture series on a regular basis.
