A nonprofit institution, the RCC was founded in 2009 as a joint initiative of Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Deutsches Museum, with the generous support of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Our namesake is the American biologist, nature writer, and environmentalist Rachel Carson, whose accessible writing raised awareness worldwide about threats to the environm
ent and human health. The RCC is home to a diverse community of students, researchers, and professionals, who come from a variety of countries and fields within the humanities disciplines. Privacy Policy
