Proposal for scientific network ‘Entangled Atheisms’ approved by DFG

The DFG has approved the proposal for the research network ‘Entangled Atheisms’ and will fund the project from 1 September 2025 for a period of three years. The initiators are Carolin Kosuch (University of Göttingen), Heléna Toth (University of Bamberg) and Johannes Gleixner (Collegium Carolinum). The network, in which Eveline Bouwers, research associate at the IEG, is also involved, brings together researchers from the fields of history, religious studies and sociology.

It aims to provide an international, transdisciplinary platform for research on European atheism as an intellectual and social phenomenon. The main aim of the network is to select and analyse important texts that shed light on the emerging non-religious discourses and social practices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and to make them accessible to the wider scientific community.
