PhD Colloquium "Rural Studies"
How do land use conflicts escalate? How is the rewetting of moors negotiated? What are the ideas of community in villages? Or what role does voluntary work play in rural areas?
Diverse questions like these were lively discussed at the PhD colloquium "Rural Studies" in Vechta on 05 and 06 October 2023. 23 PhD students with different disciplinary backgrounds from all over Germany took part in the workshop at the University of Vechta to exchange ideas on qualitative research on rural areas.
In cooperation with the Vechta Institute of Sustainability Transformation in Rural Areas (VISTRA) and with the kind support of the CSS Hamburg, the event was organised by Franziska Lengerer (Thünen Institute for Living Conditions in Rural Areas, Braunschweig), Eva Rahe (University of Vechta), Hauke Feddersen (Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Hamburg) and Vincent Keldenich (Cultural Geography, University of Bamberg).
The contributions are documented in an abstract volume.
In 2024, there will be a follow-up event, probably in Bamberg, to consolidate the cooperation on issues of qualitative social research in rural areas.
