In collaboration with UNESCO the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) proposed to undertake a World Humanities Report. Within this framework and challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic the research team Europe has developed a „Network of European Humanities.21“ http://neh21.net where it published an „Experts‘ Report on European Humanities“. Here, you find – amongst the other contributions – my report on „Persistent Liminality – A Driving Force for the Humanities in Times of the Pandemic“. https://neh21.net/experts-report/doris-bachmann-medick/
