Seminars

Social Science Research Seminars

We host regular Social Science Research Seminars. Usually, one participant will prepare a short, informal talk about their ongoing research, which is then discussed by the group. These meetings are ideal for making contacts and learning about recent developments in the social sciences in Jordan and the surrounding region.

Upcoming Seminars

The Social Science Seminar Series will recommence in 2012...
