SOLD seminars spring 2026

In the research environment of Language Studies and Comparative Literature including Subject Didactics (SOLD), we apply a perspective which is both subject-oriented and didactics-oriented on Language Studies and Comparative Literature. The SOLD seminar series constitutes a focal point with the aim of promoting research in the humanities and subject didactics.
