New international guest researchers at the College of the UA Ruhr

The renowned researchers from universities in Argentina, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the USA form the fourth cohort of the international Senior Fellowship Program, which has been an integral part of the College for Social Sciences and Humanities since 2023. From September, the visiting researchers will work in tandem partnerships with members of the University Alliance Ruhr for the next six months.

At the Welcome Day on September 9, members of the Scientific Board warmly welcomed the Senior Fellows and wished them a fruitful and inspiring stay. The fellows and their tandem partners presented their research projects and the academic events they are planning as part of their fellowships. The wide range of research areas includes transnational law, genocide research, maritime history, journal literature research, intercultural developmental psychology, memory studies, international relations as well as higher education and science studies. In a weekly colloquium, the Senior Fellows will engage in an interdisciplinary exchange about their current research work together with the academics at the College.

Prof. Dr. Nelson Casimiro Zavale (Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique) is conducting research with Uwe Wilkesmann (TU Dortmund University) in the tandem project “Knowledge and Technology Transfer in Africa.”
