AISSR Harvest Day 2023 - AISSR - University of Amsterdam

The central questions during this day will be:

How is the world changing?
How should the social sciences change?
How may the social sciences contribute to changing the world?

Keynote lectures

The AISSR is proud to announce the three keynote speakers of the Harvest Day 2023, who will shed a light and their vision on the above main questions, focusing on three specific themes:

Maarten Hajer on Climate & Democracy. Aftertalk with Karen Paiva Henrique.
Philomena Essed on Intersectionality & Social Justice. Aftertalk with Maggi Leung.
