| Content | The colloquium presents contemporary studies on the relevance for the social and related sciences. We will present qualitative and quantitative studies. 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.
