Abstract

Knowledge is not only an element within scientific institutions and disciplines. In the form of public debates, medical and technical applications and administrative measures it is also part of the social space.

Objective

The summer school is aimed at doctoral students who, in their historical research projects, investigate knowledge in social contexts. In exchange with Swiss and international professors from the field of the history of knowledge and in relation to the participants’ research projects, methods will be developed to analyze the forms, functions and circulation of knowledge in social dimensions.
