Any EXC 2020 member pursuing a project that includes collaborative work beyond university structures contributes to CONSTELLATIONS' goal of promoting new and lasting forms of knowledge exchange outside of disciplinary boundaries. These activities are supported by a small core team consisting of Anna [Anouk] Luhn (Research Coordinator), Sima Ehrentraut (Research Associate) and the student assistants Katharina Schütt and Franka Schmuck. CONSTELLATIONS helps connect EXC 2020 members with existing and prospective partners and does its own programming in alignment with the Cluster's research foci. Professional-track postdocs (currently Barbara Bausch, Regine Ehleiter and Ana Rocío Jouli) join the team for the duration of their projects, which typically mediate academic research and the practices and methodologies of cultural work.
