The interdisciplinary International Research Training Group (IRTG), inaugurated in October 2009 and now already in its second phase of promotion, is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and hosted by the Institute for Latin American Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. The IRTG cooperates closely with the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Universität Potsdam, El Colegio de México, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social in Mexico City.
 
The IRTG adopts a new perspective in the study of globalisation. It seeks to make an inno­vative contribution to a transnational and interdisciplinary field of study by means of a dia­logue between the social sciences and the humanities that is further informed by the respec­tive academic traditions in Mexico and Germany. The IRTG studies movements between different world regions and the new spaces that have emerged during both past and present periods of ever-increasing global interconnectivity.
 
We welcome applications from the following disciplines: History, Political Sciences, Literature and Cultural Studies, Sociology, Social and Cultural Anthropology, Economics and Gender Studies.
