This Institute convenes an interdisciplinary group of scholars to discuss matters of pressing importance to Sociology in particular and the social sciences more generally.

This year, we welcome keynote speaker Orlando Patterson, the John Cowles Professor of Sociology at Harvard University, and many other leading scholars who will join us for a day of talks and invited panel sessions:

“Objects in the Social World” • “Who Governs?” •”Transnational Sociology” • “Choosing a Dissertation”

RSVPs are welcomed at tiny.cc/springinstitute. Admission is free and open to the public.

Sponsored by the International House Global Voices Lecture Series, the Society for Social Research, and the Department of Sociology.
