Single Review on past events

In the first part, the Assembly of Members (2-year Fellows, 5 year Fellows, Senior Fellows and "fellows") elected one new member to the Executive Committee  - replacing Abena Yalley (Postdoctoral Fellow / Dept. of Literature / Politics and Public Administration) from January 2023. A re-election/2nd term of office of Abena was possible.

The election was held in person and digitally.

Members of the category "fellows" (former 2-Year Postdoctoral Fellows or former 5-Year Research Fellows with a research grant at the University of Konstanz) were NOT elegible, BUT entitled to vote. 

**************************

After the election - when all Associated Fellows, Visiting Fellows, ZUKOnnect and Herz Fellows can join the Jour fixe, two of our (digital) Visiting Fellows from Ukraine gave a presentation:

Nataliia Pyzhianova (History and Sociology) talked about "Transcultural migration of elements of song-ritual folklore in Eastern and Central Europe" and

Anatolii Koval (Philosophy) was presenting his project "Study of types of intelligence. New challenges for the intellect during the war in Ukraine".

Abstract talk Anatolii Koval:

This project is aimed at the study of intelligence (starting from the theory of multiple intelligences of G. Gardner), ways of adaptation of a person in his professional and personal life, especially in stressful conditions (such as war).
In this project I would like to delve deeper into not only Gardner's concept but also other authors and theories of intelligence (Craig Adams, Ian J. Deary, Mark M. Lowenthal, R. Keith Sawyer, Vera John-Steiner, Seana Moran, Robert J Sternberg, David Henry Feldman and others) and use their researches for my goals.
This research will be useful for preparing children and students for the right choice of their main activity (profession) and to reconcile this activity with their type of intelligence.
So, to assume, my goal is to create a seminar for teachers, which would be based on current advances in the study of intelligence and its types. I am planning to present this seminar to Ukrainian teachers and pedagogs. This will help them better understand themselves and their students, to be more effective, especially in such a difficult time.
