The Heidelberg Center for American Studies (HCA) invites applications for its annual Spring Academy on American Culture, Economics, Geography, History, Literature, Politics, and Religion to be held from March 24-28, 2025.
The HCA Spring Academy provides 20 international Ph.D. students with the opportunity to present and thoroughly discuss their Ph.D. projects. The conference offers a forum for Ph.D. candidates in which they can present their research candidly and receive valueable feedback.
The HCA Spring Academy encourages applications that range broadly across the arts, humanities, and social sciences and pursue an interdisciplinary approach. Participants can present thesis projects on any subject relating to the study of the United States of America. Possible topics include American identity, issues of ethnicity, gender, transatlantic relations, U.S. domestic and foreign policy, economics, and various aspects of American history, literature, religion, geography, law, musicology, and culture. We also welcome proposals focused on the North American continent at large, i.e. Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean.

With the HiddenChamps offer GSO connects companies with researchers – in the next webinar, GSO will focus entirely on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Guests will be Dr. Christoph Senft, HR Coordinator Talent Network & University Relations at Nexperia and Marco Miguel Valero Sanchez, Talent Acquisition Expert at Talents4Good.

“Close the gap: Wie können Geschlechteraspekte stärker in der Forschung berücksichtigt werden?”
Onlinediskussion mit Prof. Dr. Oliver Werz und Prof. Dr. Anna Kipp
Moderation: Dr. Michael Wutzler
online von 16-17 Uhr
Die Dominanz männlicher Perspektiven hat auch in der Wissenschaft dazu geführt, dass geschlechterspezifische Daten in vielen Bereichen der Forschung und der Gesellschaft unzureichend erfasst sind: Sei es bspw. bei der Wirkung von Medikamenten, den Arten der Fortbewegung, bei Sicherheitstechnologien oder der Altersvorsorge. Dabei führt Gendersensibilität zu einer höheren wissenschaftlichen Qualität und präziseren Ergebnissen, die auch in der Praxis zu besseren Anwendungen führen. Nicht zuletzt trägt gendersensible Forschung zu einer gleichstellungsorientierten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung bei. Dahingehend hat sich in den letzten Jahren einiges getan.
Dieser Workshop findet im Rahmen der Postdocs Appreciation Week 2024 (PAW) statt.

“In this workshop, we provide a space to pause and explore questions such as: What’s working well and what’s not? Which goals am I focusing on, and do they align with my priorities? What steps can I take to achieve the goals I’ve set? How can I manage expectations and demands in a healthy mental way? What are my sources of strength and what can I do to recharge?
We support you working on your individual topics in a structured and confidential atmosphere, introducing you to useful concepts, tools, and exercises. The exchange with colleagues brings you feedback and new ideas.”
