The SHSS Lecture Series provides a platform for researchers from the various disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences to present their research to an interested audience of undergraduates, graduates and faculty. The series aims at bringing together different approaches, research questions and methodologies from history, literature, art history (Humanities), political science, sociology, economics, mass communication and psychology (Social Sciences). With its lectures both by Jacobs members and external guests the SHSS Lecture Series contributes to academic exchange and transdisciplinary debate.
