Projects
A total of 22 project leads, supported by some 40 researchers at Bielefeld University and Paderborn University from a wide range of fields spanning from linguistics, psychology, and media studies to sociology, economics, philosophy and computer science are investigating the co-construction of explanations.
The areas of research included in TRR 318 are divided into three categories: (A) “Explaining”; “(B) “Social practice”; and (C) “Representing and computing explanations”. These three areas in turn are subdivided into interdisciplinary subprojects.
Project INF provides an overarching research structure; Project Ö facilitates public relations and outreach; Project Z addresses administrative, organizational, and financial matters; and the RTG Project provides a framework for educating doctoral and post-doctoral researchers.
