SFB Blog “Transformation of Property”

The SFB Blog “Transformation of Property” provides an interdisciplinary public platform through which we share thoughts on property relations in contemporary and past societies. We offer a wide spectrum of views, comments, interpretations, and opinions on all property-related topics from the perspectives of history, law, economics, politics, sociology, and anthropology. We also present and discuss alternative property arrangements and institutions, including indigenous or decolonial perspectives. The blog aims at both an academic community and an interested non-academic public and welcomes wide engagement with our property research from academic and broader public.

Please send contributions for the blog to: blog-sfb-eigentum@uni-jena.de
