Workshop of the CRC 1482 Human Differentiation on the topic "Distinguishing People. Historical Perspectives on Human Differentiation" organized by Gregor Feindt, Anne Friedrichs and Johannes Paulmann at the Leibniz Institute of European History, Mainz. The workshop will be held in German. People differ - but these differences are not given, they are made, sometimes negotiated and questioned. In our present day, numerous practices of differentiation are as obvious as they are virulent, but despite all the controversy, there is a lack of awareness of the historicity of such distinctions. The workshop explores this historical dimension of differentiation and brings together 15 researchers who will each take a closer look at one differentiation and put it up for discussion. The workshop thus contributes to the work of the CRC 1482 Human Differentiation, which is jointly funded by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Leibniz Institute of European History. For further information on the workshop, please contact Gregor Feindt. The workshop will be held in German.
