The Seminar Series of the Department provides an occasion for staff members and students to share their ideas, views and research activities both with each other and with visiting social scientists. These seminars given by visiting scholars also provide an opportunity to expose staff members to current issues in the field and to exchange ideas with internationally known sociologists and anthropologists. In recent years, the Series featured such prominent scholars as Neil Smelser, Gianfranco Poggi, Marshall Sahlins, Claus Offe, and Jack Goody, among others.
