The disciplinary focus of the Northern Regional Network, which Professor Mehrdad Payandeh and Professor Jürgen Zimmerer supervise, is on law and history. The main topic of "Law, History and Racism" forms the framework for analyzing legal regulations for protection against racism, the treatment of racism by the legal sciences, and the significance of racism and colonialism for and in the historical sciences.
Prof Payandeh and Prof Zimmerer will also look at current issues relating to racism in Germany, including the connection between colonialism and racism, the impact of racism on social cohesion, shifts in the discourse on racism, and the public approach to racism.
