On Wednesday, 14 April, the digital Welcome Day for the summer semester 2021 took place at the BGHS. Ruth Ayaß and Klaus Weinhauer welcomed the new doctoral researchers as well as the new project staff in the Collective Research Centre "Practices of Comparison" and the future doctoral researchers in the new Research Training Group "Gender as Experience", who were also invited to the Welcome Day. This was followed by a 'chat storm' in which the doctoral researchers introduced themselves and they had the opportunity to get to know the doctoral representatives and the staff of the BGHS office. Afterwards, Sabine Schäfer introduced the training and study programme of the BGHS. Despite the unusual circumstances, we wish all new and future members a great start at the BGHS.

The presentation of the Welcome Day is available here:
