BIGSSS Lecture Series

Each semester the Graduate School invites a mix of established and young scholars, both from outside Bremen and from other social science research institutions of the University, to present their work to the students and the faculty of the School as well as to the wider interested public. Taking place every two weeks, the Lecture Series is the central meeting point for the entire Graduate School and provides an excellent opportunity for engaging in intensive, interdisciplinary, scholarly debate.
