Podcast Young Marsilius Fellows 2022
Giving, helping and behaving charitably plays an important role for individual as well as for social spaces and relationships. How can the central concept of "altruism" be defined and can one learn to behave accordingly? Conversely, can one be a good person without being altruistic? These and other questions will be discussed by four Young Marsilius Fellows from the perspective of law (Torben Ellerbrok), psychology (Stefanie Peykarjou), theology (Alida C. Euler), and American studies (Natalie Rauscher).

Symposium Young Marsilius Fellows 2022
WissenSchafFt PERSPEKTIVEN [SCIENCE PERSPECTIVES]
For one year, the first generation of Young Marsilius Fellows changed perspectives: As an interdisciplinary group of 13 Heidelberg postdocs from a broad range of disciplines, we opened up new insights to each other. And we thought about how to communicate the findings of our research to a broad audience in an exciting and generally understandable way.
We will present the results in the frame of a final symposium "WissenSchafFt PERSPEKTIVEN" on Thursday, July 14, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Marsilius Kolleg. Registration is open to all students, researchers and the interested public.
