Christian Schmelz serves as an Honorary Professor actively teaching seminars in public law with specialized focus on climate protection legislation, as evidenced by his recurring 2024W-2025W course offerings including Seminar aus Öffentlichem Recht - Schwerpunkt: Klimaschutz als Hype: the Good, the Bad or the Ugly . His academic profile bridges legal scholarship with interdisciplinary research in gender and sexuality studies. Dr. Schmelz's research centers on the intersection of LGBTQ+ issues and Christian theology, demonstrated through his editorial leadership of the Jahrbuch Sexualitäten yearbook series (2016-2018 volumes) and seminal works such as Aufgehende Saat: 40 Jahre Ökumenische Arbeitsgruppe Homosexuelle und Kirche (2017), which documents four decades of ecumenical LGBTQ+ advocacy within religious institutions. His scholarship extends to practical sexual ethics in evangelical contexts ( Unverschämt–schön , 2016) and theoretical explorations of post-gender society ( Gender Turn series, 2012-2013), consistently addressing the societal implications of sexual diversity through theological, legal, and ethical frameworks. Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals evolving thematic priorities: early foundational work on gender theory (2012-2013) transitioned toward applied ethical considerations in religious practice (2016-2017), with recent emphasis on memorialization projects like the proposed Berlin-based Elberskirchen-Hirschfeld-Haus (2016) and contemporary climate law discourse. His interdisciplinary approach integrates legal scholarship with queer theology and social theory, advocating for inclusive policy frameworks that reconcile religious traditions with LGBTQ+ rights. No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials Available sources indicate no formal student advising relationships or externally funded research grants associated with Dr. Schmelz's academic activities. His scholarly contributions appear primarily through editorial work, book authorship, and seminar instruction rather than laboratory-based or team-directed research initiatives. No institutional laboratories, research centers, or collaborative teams were referenced in the source documentation, suggesting his work operates through independent scholarship and institutional teaching roles rather than structured research infrastructure.
