We are delighted to announce that Prof. Dr. Andreas Reckwitz receives the Leibniz Prize 2019.

The jury states: »Andreas Reckwitz, one of today’s leading and most original social diagnosticians, will be presented with the Leibniz Prize for his outstanding research work. He has produced wide-ranging and detailed analyses of structural change in modern western societies, combining sociological investigations of everyday life, work and consumption and digital subjectification.«

The Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize is the most important research award in Germany. The Leibniz Programme aims to improve the working conditions of outstanding researchers, expand their research opportunities, relieve them of administrative tasks, and help them employ particularly qualified early career researchers.
