Dr. Johanna Stark

, a senior research fellow at the MPI for Tax Law and Public Finance, has been invited to help shape the jurisprudential project “Future Faculty” (Zukunftsfakultät), funded by the research network Recht im Kontext and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin.

As part of the Future Faculty, a group of 15 postdoctoral scholars from various subdisciplines of legal studies have been meeting every six months since July 2012 to discuss their own discipline(s), develop ideas and think ahead. The aim of the faculty is to critically debate the tasks, theories and methods of a modern jurisprudence and to provide intra- and interdisciplinary impulses for future scientific teaching and research.
