PhD-organized lecture series “Society: Status Quo and Normative Change”

“Society: Status Quo and Normative Change”

Inspiring international speakers share their ideas on important questions of societal dynamics in an exciting lecture series. How does society work? How do we want society to work? How should we regulate society?

Our aim is to present a cross-section of current, interdiscipli­nary, and diverse perspectives on these issues. Leading voices from a variety of disciplines will share their views and spark a lively debate. All talks are aligned with the In­sti­tute’s re­search agenda but are also of general interest to a broader public audience. Where possible, the lectures will be recorded and made available here as a video podcast.

This guest lecture series is organized by a group of dedicated doctoral researchers from the three departments of the Institute. If you would like to be added to our mailing list for further events, please contact Sebastian Kübel ().
