Current research projects

Aggression and argumenta­tion - conflict discourses and their linguistic negotiation

The project examines in general how conflicts emerge, and how they are expressed and resolved. It will focus in particular on the following questions: What forms do conflicts take in different areas of communication? Which differences can be identified in Ukraine and Russia in recent years with regard to national, ethnic, media and discursive aspects? How are the differences resolved?
Sorbian knowledge

The project has two objectives: through the establishment of a junior research group with an interdisciplinary team, it aims to critically assess and revise the current orientation of Sorabic Studies as a science in terms of methodology and ideology. The junior research group will become a driving force for innovation. In addition to complementing current research projects, it will also enrich them with new, socially relevant impulses.
Enhancing Teaching Practice in Higher Education in RUSSIA and СHINA

ENTEP Joint Project proposal has been initiated with the aim of improving the quality of education and teaching, enhancing teaching practices and further developing educational science in Russia and China. Partners experienced in HE teacher training formed a consortium in order to benefit from their different experiences, profiles and specific expertise and to produce relevant and high quality outcomes. The Project is focused on building cooperation and exchange of good teaching practices among European, Russian and Chinese Universities, which will eventually result in the modernization of PCIs.
