On 10 August, BGHS alumna Isabell Diekmann received the Augsburg Academic Award for Intercultural Studies 2023 for her doctoral thesis, which is awarded jointly by the University of Augsburg and the Forum Interkulturelles Leben und Lernen (FiLL e.V.). In her doctoral thesis with the title “Good Muslims, bad Islam? On the differentiated consideration of hostile attitudes towards people and religion”, she explores the question of whether Islamophobia and hostility towards Muslims are actually the same thing. More information is available here.

The BGHS is happy and congratulates her warmly!

Isabell Diekmann completed her doctorate in 2022 in the Faculty of Sociology and is employed as a research associate in the working area Transnationalisation, Development and Migration.
