The image shows a woman with blonde hair wearing a colorful, floral-patterned shirt standing against a dark background. Text: #WomenInScience. Dr. Frederike Stucke. Postdoctoral Researcher. Quote of Dr. Frederike Stucke: My research focuses on tolerance from two perspectives. I examine which factors make it easier or more difficult for people to practice tolerance, and how tolerance is experienced by those who receive it – for example, as empowering or as threatening. Quote of Dr. Frederike Stucke: I enjoy working in academia, because it combines analytical thinking, empirical research, and creativity with societal relevance, and allows me to engage with important questions over the long term.

Ohne soziale Unterschiede zusammenleben? Das haben über 5.000 Jahre hinweg Menschen im Karpatenbecken immer wieder geschafft. Welche Belege gibt es dafür in der Archäologie?
