Zitate

"I am very grateful to the Department for the various scientific activities I was able to participate in during my stay. Most notably, I attended the bi-weekly write-up seminars organized by Senior Scientific Editor Brian Donahoe, during which the Department’s PhD students present their respective research and work-in-progress. These seminars provide helpful critical feedback and contribute to the feeling of being part of a comprehensive team. I am also thankful to Professor Foblets, who personally supervised my work during my stay and invited me to participate in the Department’s annual scientific retreat last January (2016) in Wittenberg."

"Professor Foblets kindly accommodated my request to visit the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. I was particularly interested in the Law & Anthropology Department, as its members have produced leading research on legal pluralism, which fits with my PhD research on religious accommodation in European law. My time there was very useful and enjoyable. I carried out some comparative work on how the EU framework Directive 2000/78/EC was implemented in the UK and Germany. Comparing the case law from the UK and Germany proved to be quite an interesting challenge."
