Here you find our Lecture series for the current term, which is for Winter 2020/21. Feel free to attend and write an e-mail in case there are texts circulating prior to a lecture.
This semester, we have a guiding theme, which is: Data & Experimentalism. We thus specifically inquire into how pragmatist experimentalism can conceptually and practically help re-tooling social scientific practices, and how data may engender, contradict, combine or in other ways be involved in this. Here is a PDF we more details on the theme that we also shared with the presenters. We use this website to document the input from the presenters.
Due to COVID 19, all lectures will be live on ZOOM
