HGGS Summer Forum 2023: "Agency in Time"

 

What is the relationship between agency and time, and how do they interact in the humanities, law and social sciences? The HGGS Forum 2023 brought together interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary experts from around the world to discuss the increasing importance of these themes in numerous academic disciplines, deepening our understanding of humanities, law and social sciences as a whole. Experts at various stages in their academic careers – doctoral candidates, postdocs, professors – were invited to join us for an exciting day of discussions, breaking down barriers between disciplines and shining a new light on the fascinating interaction of agency and time.

 

In their presentations on the relationship between agency and time, participants experimented with different visions of expressing and communicating scholarly findings individually or in teams: short papers alternated with video collages and poster presentations. Thanks to the HGGS mobility grants, outstanding external doctoral candidates from other German university and from abroad were invited to join the HGGS Forum 2023 in person.

 

Programme: 8 September 2023

about the HGGS Forum: 
 

 

Forum-pix-2021

 

The HGGS Forum is an interdisciplinary conference and/or workshop organised by doctoral members of the HGGS in collaboration with the managing director. It permits members of the Graduate School to discuss in depth central academic questions from different disciplinary angles and to re-think their own academic work in the dialogue with experts and invited guests from leading research universities in Europe and abroad.

In recent years, Forum topics included “21st Century Risks and Opportunities”, “Interdisciplinary Research” as well as cross-disciplinary concepts, such as “Mobility”, “Space”, “Change”, "Communication", and “Identities”.
