TRAFO – Blog for Transregional Research
TRAFO – Blog for Transregional Research
The TRAFO Blog serves as a discussion and information platform for scholars, who are interested in transregional research. It presents research results and contributions from the field of transregional and area studies. We publish calls for applications, interviews with researchers and event notifications which connect disciplinary and area studies research. The Blog represents the common activities of the Max Weber Foundation and the Forum Transregionale Studien.
TRAFO is an acronym for “Transregionale Forschung”, but also has another meaning in German: a “Trafo” is a transformer station, alluding to the translation work and mediation function of the Forum Transregionale Studien, the Max Weber Stiftung and our cooperation partner CrossArea e.V. The blog was built up as part of the joint project “Transregional Studies” that was funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) from 2013 to 2020.
