CEAS - Colloquium on Experimental and Analytical Sociology

The Colloquium on Experimental and Analytical Sociology (CEAS) provides doctoral researchers and postdoctoral fellows with an opportunity to present ongoing work and receive feedback beyond what is already given in regular one-on-one meetings with the supervisor. It also occasionally hosts external speakers whose research draws on either the experimental or the analytical sociology tradition, that is, using quasi-experimental methods to isolate causal effects and /or identifying the social mechanisms through which micro-behavior aggregates into a macro-level phenomenon. Any public lectures organized in conjunction with the colloquium are fully open to the EUI community.

The colloquium meets every other Friday from 13:30 to 15:00.

If you would like to join the CEAS or be included in the mailing list, please contact: Bernard.Morsink@eui.eu & Stefana.Vizman@eui.eu
