Seminars - Doctoral School of Social Sciences

The Doctoral School of Social Science is keen to announce its interdisciplinary Seminar Series, bringing together renown international speakers from various branches of the Social Sciences.

The Seminars take place each third Thursday of the month, from 2 to 4 pm. They are organized by the School’s Director together with the academic directors of the single PhD programmes and aim to stimulate interesting scientific discussions as well as to create an occasion to get together among colleagues (junior and less junior) and exchange ideas also more informally, according to the spirit of the Doctoral School of Social Sciences.

Each senior Speaker is assigned to junior Discussants from different disciplines and ample room is provided for an open floor discussion.

Here the programme for the current academic year:

2 PM, Aula Kessler, Department of Sociology and Social Research, via Verdi 2

Tentative programme - academic year 2019/20
