New fellows in spring

As part of the Welcome Days at the start of the summer term, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg welcomed seven new fellows. The researchers – specialising in law, history and legal anthropology – along with some of the existing fellows, presented their projects and engaged in lively discussions about the various research initiatives in the field of legal unity and pluralism.
