Interdisciplinary Summer School: Crisis Analysis What We Can Learn from the Classical Theories of Durkheim and Bourdieu

Current crises affect nearly all aspects of human existence and all spheres of late modernity. Climate change, war, the rise of authoritarian illiberal democracies, economic crises, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Brexit are just a few examples of these societal challenges. The Émile Durkheim Research Unit: Crisis Analyses is dedicated to addressing these issues of the post-global era and focuses on the comparative-historical analysis of meta-crises.
The Émile Durkheim Research Unit invites applications for its upcoming interdisciplinary Summer School. This program aims to introduce students and early-career researchers to the scientific framework of crisis analysis, linking their personal experiences of crisis definition, perception, and resilience strategies to key theoretical perspectives.
