| Content | The colloquium presents contemporary studies on the relevance for the social and related sciences. We will present qualitative and quantitative studies, and we will endeavor to also feature new methodological approaches. We focus on studies relating to local and global social structures, change, and transitions. Im Kolloquium werden aktuelle empirische Studien mit Relevanz für die Sozialwissenschaften präsentiert und diskutiert. Dabei stehen verschiedene methodische Vorgehen ebenso wie die durch diese erworbenen Erkenntnisse im Fokus. Den thematischen Schwerpunkt bilden Studien zu sozialen Strukturen und sozialen Transitionen. |
