CAS - Colloquium on Analytical Sociology

The Colloquium on Analytical Sociology (CAS) provides doctoral researchers and postdoctoral fellows with an opportunity to present ongoing work and receive feedback beyond what is already given in regular one-on-one meetings with the supervisor. It also occasionally hosts external speakers with research in the analytical sociology tradition, that is, identifying the social mechanisms through which individual behavior aggregates into a macrolevel phenomenon.Any public lectures organized in conjunction with the colloquium are fully open to the EUI community.

The colloquium convenes biweekly, on Fridays, 14:00-16:00
