MISSION
RECHANGE sets a strategic focus on ressentiment research from a psychosocial perspective to gain insights in how social and political changes affect people psychologically and vice versa how psychic-affective processes determine social and political (trans-)formation processes. Its theoretical-methodical approaches and its empirical work are guided by interdisciplinary collaborations with sociology, history, political science, peace and conflict studies and crossovers such as gender and intersectionality studies.
OBJECTIVES
RECHANGE pursues three objectives:
ACTIVITIES
RECHANGE activities encompass three key areas: research, teaching and practice.
We establish and use synergy effects between these key areas and thereby build expertise and structures in each of them.
1. State of the art research
2. Innovative teaching
3. Transfer in practice fields
