Transcultural Studies at the HSG explore contemporary cultural and social transformations from an ethnographic, comparative and genealogical perspective. The particular foci lie on (im)mobility/migration and borders; inequality and redistribution; and education (see also Research).
In our approach, Transculturality represents a heuristic to grasp forms of transnational/-local/-generational mobilities and connections and their histories; and engage with (emic) notions of culture while being attentive towards power, inequalities and related practices of culturalization and cultural essentialism.
