The Chair of Interculturality, with a focus on the sociology of culture and knowledge, understands the social as the result of interactions between discourses, narratives, and social practices. The research avoids essentialist notions of culture and instead adopts a social constructivist and praxeological approach. Key areas include transnationality and migration studies, heritage studies, and the analysis of inequality and intersectionality. The department critically engages with global power relations and social belonging in the context of migration, colonialism, and globalization. In teaching, cultural and knowledge sociology as well as intersectional approaches are integrated into degree programs such as World Heritage Studies, Transformation Studies, and Digital Society.
