Helene Lange Research Training Group for young female researchers

The subject of this transdisciplinary research training group is the construction and practice of national, areal and social identity among young adults (aged between 17 and 25) in a part of the former Soviet sphere of influence today, 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. The main research question is how this generation, socialised for the first time completely in an independent and autonomous state and under the conditions of transformation, orientates its identity in this complex context characterised by globalisation and liberalisation tendencies as well as by phenomena of retotalisation.
