The Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Einheit und Vielfalt im Recht | Legal Unity and Pluralism” (EViR) at the University of Münster invites applications for fellowships of six to ten months in duration for projects in the fields of history and law. The final date for applications is 17 January 2027.

Juli Katz, a freelance journalist, author and podcaster, will be the first journalist-in-residence at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg in November 2026. During her stay, she will seek to engage with the Kolleg’s fellows and associates about their research.

From the ‘Armenian Statute’ of 1519, through war crimes in the long 18th century, to law as a resource in conspiracy thinking: at the project presentation, our fellows provided insights into their current research projects.

In the winter semester 2026/2027, historian Prof. Dr Sarah Albiez-Wieck will take up the Research Professorship at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg. During this period, she will provide important impulses for the Kolleg’s academic work.
