The present volume draws on the experience of the Summer School held in August 2018 in Split
where graduate students and experienced scholars met from Germany Albania Serbia Macedonia
and Croatia. All contributions discuss small-scale empirical research on the threatened ideals
mentioned in the title as desirable and achievable parts of their daily lives as members of
modern universities and civil societies. The contributions can also serve as a general model
for open and critical international and intercultural academic discourse in joint teaching
research and publishing.
