The (de-)regulation of employment, the challenges of reconciling work and family life, and the processes of inclusion and exclusion on the labor market have been key topics in the social sciences in France and Germany for many years. However, little attention has been paid to direct comparisons and transfer analyses across national boundaries. The conference will therefore open a binational dialogue to find answers to the following questions: What are the central changes, transformations, and conflicts within the fields of work and family life in Germany and France?

Algorithmische Selektionsprozesse in Plattformen wie Facebook und Twitter sind derzeit Gegenstand einer intensiven gesellschaftlichen Debatte über die Transparenz und Verlässlichkeit digitaler Informationen. Dabei sind die grundlegenden Verfahren, die für die Erstellung von personalisierten Informationsangeboten eingesetzt werden, in anderen Bereichen zum Teil schon seit Jahrzehnten im Einsatz (Handel, Tourismus, Bankwesen). Wie werden Informationen gefiltert, die in Social-Media-Plattformen in personalisierten Feeds angezeigt werden? Wie wirkt sich Personalisierung in Suchmaschinen aus?

The increased and sustained presence of Muslim immigrants has led states and governments in Europe and elsewhere to re-negotiate the accommodation of religious minorities. Many of these processes of negotiation of cultural and religious rights have taken place in public institutions but only some of these institutions such as schools have received broad public and political as well as scientific attention. The current research project tries to broaden this perspective by directing attention to the military as a public institution that has not only a special relationship with the state and the nation, but also fulfils a very specific task and constitutes a "total institution" (Goffman 1961).
