  • International Conference for Phd-Students in Diaconic Science
    International Conference for PhD-Students in Diaconic Science Dear PhD students, two years ago, we had a first international meeting for PhD students in diaconic science at the Institute for Diaconic Science and Management in Bielefeld, Germany. We would like to invite you today to present papers at the next meeting which will take place from July 19 to July 20, 2019 at the Institute for the Study of Diaconia (Diakoniewissenschaftliches Institut/DWI) at Heidelberg University. In different European countries universities offer PhD-programs with a focus on diaconic science. The objective of the conference is to connect students who are working and studying in these programs to get to know each other, to develop avenues of cooperation and to discuss methodological questions as well as approaches to the “philosophy “ of diaconic science. Thus, we would like to invite you to send in a one page description of your PhD project which you would like to present at the conference (poster or paper presentation, forum of questions and discussion). Please mail the one page description of your project until December 30, 2018 to [email protected] heidelberg.de. Diaconic Science is a young science. It is coming from a theological background and developing an interdisciplinary approach to cover the wide range of topics that are raised by social work and social services by church based organizations or local churches. In many countries these organizations operate in a pluralistic society under the conditions of social markets. The shrinking of churches and the growth of these markets has led to the following question: what is the role theology in the study of diaconia? There will be an opening session focusing on this question.
