Welcome and Farewell

This week we want to welcome two Senior Fellows from Bern University at the KFG. Florian Zemmin is back for his second stay with us until March and will continue his research on “Sociology in the Arabic World”. Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz will stay in Leipzig until January and focus on her project about “Forms of secularity in Tibetan and Mongolian scholarly circles from the 17th to the 19th century”.

Further, we say goodbye to Senior Fellow Kyuhoon Cho (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul). We wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon!
