The next UA Ruhr Science Speed Dating Event will take place in January
- UA Ruhr
- Study Programs

The topic of Complex Bodies in Culture, Literature, and Science opens an interdisciplinary approach to concepts of the body that are examined at the intersection of the humanities, social, technical and natural sciences. It combines cultural and literary analyses with epistemological, medical, and social science perspectives on embodied aspects of disability, chronic illness, prosthetics, gender, sex, racialization, religion as well as processes of normativization and rehabilitation. By bringing together different disciplines' theoretical and methodological approaches to physical diversity, standardization, and social power relations, the event facilitates a low-threshold exchange on common issues and promotes the development of new interdisciplinary research impulses.
