Workshop #1 – Data as/in Contradictions: Research, Practices, Politics (Postdoc Intro)Drawing on the research projects of the postdoctoral Fellows of the RTG 2686, this three-part workshop invites our doctoral researchers to collectively reflect on the intersections between data and contradictions. We will explore how data is both shaped by political, social, and epistemic contradictions and, in turn, actively shapes these contradictions.

Was ist „Osteuropa“? Geschichte und Gegenwart eines widersprüchlichen Konzepts
Since the total invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army, the term “Eastern Europe” has been omnipresent – whether in social media posts or feature articles: Everyone is talking about “Eastern Europe”. But what does “Eastern Europe” actually mean? Who belongs to it and who doesn’t? How useful is it to lump Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine into one category? Are there “good” Eastern Europeans who are allowed to be in the EU and NATO, and “bad” ones who (have to) stay out?
We want to discuss these and other questions together with our guests. The focus will be on the contradictions that characterize the concept of “Eastern Europe” – a concept whose meaning is negotiated daily between Western ideas and a multitude of complex identities
