TU Darmstadt | Institut für Theologie und Sozialethik (iths)It exists in Darmstadt; and it is already in its fourth decade. In the 1970s, the newly founded Institute for Theology and Social Ethics (iths) began its teaching and research operations at the TU Darmstadt in order to qualify young people for the profession of religion teacher at industrial-technical vocational schools. Since then, it has been possible to complete the two courses of study 'Protestant and Catholic Religion for the Teaching Profession at Vocational Schools' at the iths in Darmstadt.

But not only that: from the beginning it was part of the self-conception of the Darmstadt institute not to dwell on theology alone. Rather, one wanted consciously to place oneself in the context of political, social and technical sciences and to ask in an interdisciplinary perspective about the chances and challenges of Christian theology and social ethics 'in the technical-industrial world of today'. For this reason, problems of the rapidly changing world of work and professions and the tense encounter between technology and ethics have long been part of the Institute's specific teaching and research profile. In addition, there are the pressing questions about the future of the working society and the welfare state, about national and international solidarity and justice, which are dealt with not only from a theological-social-ethical perspective, but also from the perspectives of sociology of religion, social theory and political philosophy.

TU Darmstadt | Digital Philology – Neuere deutsche LiteraturwissenschaftThe field of "Digital Philology - Modern German Literary Studies" is one of the disciplines at the nexus of the humanities and digitisation. The focus is on digital research on texts - from manual, computer-assisted annotation of individual texts to corpus-based analysis using suitable algorithms. Regardless of the method used, it is always about a humanities approach to the possibilities offered by information science. Therefore, in addition to the use of digital methods, reflection on this approach is also central: What actually happens when we analyse our texts with the help of computers?

TU Darmstadt | Soziologie- OrganisationssoziologieThe Chair of Sociology of Organization and Work deals with the upheavals in the world of work, the transformation of organizations and, in particular, companies. Accordingly, the current focal points include the digitalisation of industry and services as well as the accompanying forms of control and coordination of work.

TU Darmstadt | Kultur- und WissenssoziologieThe sociology of culture and knowledge assumes that what we know, how we think and what everyday actions result from this are not simply based on individual preferences or objective facts. Knowledge, thought and action, as well as preferences and beliefs, are seen as culturally embedded social phenomena. On this basis, sociological methods can be used to investigate how these phenomena are socially shaped and how they are related to our position in society and the social power relations operating within it at a particular time.
