About the format:
uniMIND Central Sessions are part of the global uniMIND journal club network. During the semester, the Central Sesssions take place monthly, each fourth Wednesday of the month, usually at 7 pm CET/CEST.
For each session, we invite authors of research papers from a wide variety of disciplines. While the session is mostly guided by a moderator, all attendees are invited to actively partake through comments or questions. This is a great opportunity to learn about the processes behind and between the literary lines and to get in touch with researchers!
Come one, come all – but please prepare the assigned paper.
This session will be hosted by: Tom Saborowski
About the author:
Nicolas Langlitz is an anthropologist and historian of science who takes philosophical questions out of the armchair to the field. His fields are medicine, the life sciences, and the behavioral sciences where he looks for interlocutors who share his curiosity about Homo sapiens as an animal that has changed beyond recognition and, for better and worse, shows no signs of settling down. At present, Langlitz is especially interested in our predicament as a species of moralistic apes and in research approaches that cut across the disciplinary divide between social research, humanities scholarship, and the natural sciences.
