The Center for Theory of Culture and Society (Zentrum für Theorie und Methoden der Kulturwissenschaften) is a network-like consortium of over 70 members of the University of Göttingen. The Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences function as supporting organizations. Nevertheless, the center is also open to members from all other faculties.The center has two main functions: (1) to develop cross-discipline and cross-faculty third-party funds projects with a focus on the reflection and creation of theory as well as the explicit development of methods in the involved disciplines and (2) to support individual and joint research projects focusing on cultural studies with the establishment of questions based on theory or methodology especially during the application stage.
