Social Science Week is an opportunity for students to see what contemporary Social Scientists are up to and to learn more about the many pathways Social Science study can lead to. It is also a moment to reflect deeply on the most meaningful questions we face at this point in history, questions about climate catastrophe, our rapidly changing media landscapes, art-making and race-relations, and how to think about conflict, both locally and abroad. These talks invite students and faculty to step out of the constraints of the traditional classroom, and into conversations about the world that is and the world that is to come.
