Welcome to the Monthly Multidisciplinary Webinars on Culture and Values!
Once a month, a guest speaker presents stimulating new research (typically one or several major publications, either empirical or conceptual) related to culture and values, followed by a discussion with the audience. Previous guests have ranged from prominent scholars in the field to younger colleagues who make a valuable contribution to advancing our understanding of culture and values. Presenters and audience represent various social science disciplines – from psychology, sociology, political science, and economics, to culturology, anthropology and even the humanities and the natural sciences. Culture is a highly complex social phenomenon that requires joint efforts to illuminate. Please join those efforts – it is stimulating and fun!
When: The webinar typically (though not always) takes place on the last Thursday of the month at 12:00 Central European Time, which corresponds to 11:00 in the UK, 14:00 in Moscow, 19:00 in Hong Kong and Beijing, 20:00 in Tokyo. Please double-check your local time, e.g. using this Time Zone Converter.
