Dramaturgies in the Afterlife of Violence

Events

Besides individually or collectively participating at conferences, artistic formats or public discussions, our Junior Research Group regularly invites scholars as well as artists for guest lectures and talks. This happens especially within the frame of Theater Forschung Ruhr, the lecture series at the institute for Theater Studies at Ruhr-University Bochum.

Furthermore, the research group organizes a total of three workshops (from 2024 to 2026) and a conference (approximately in January 2027).

Finally, some of our shared group excursions are also being listed here to give short insights into our activities.
