Summer School 2023: Telling People Apart: Sorting, Grouping, and Distinguishing

The Collaborative Research Centre 1483 “Studies in Human Categorisation” invites you to a summer school at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz from June 18-24, 2023. In five work-intensive days, we will examine a phenomenon that is as ubiquitous as it is fundamental: Human beings continuously differentiate and categorise each other in a variety of ways, for example by age, gender, nationality, religion, language, race, attractiveness, but also by dietary habits or music preferences. In an exchange with renowned experts from various disciplines, conceptual and methodological foundations for the study of human categorisation will be discussed in different formats. 

Organization Team:
Anja-Maria Bassimir
Marie Großmann
Aaron Hock
Miriam Lind
Tomasz Rozmyslowicz
Clara Terjung
Deborah Wockelmann
Marcel Woznica
