Research
Bernhard Lange's main interest lies in how learning works and how it can be promoted. To this end, he contributes current neurobiological findings and explores the possibilities offered by digitization and the rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. Furthermore, he researches and works on how these findings can be concretely implemented in academic teaching.
In Sociology of Religion research, his regional focus is on Israel and Judaism, and his systematic focus is on complex adaptive systems theory and ideology critique and tradition change.
