JVF Conference Papers
On June 12 th, 2008, the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen continued the venerable tradition of hosting a day-long conference organized by the Junior Fellows in residence at the Institute, at which the young scholars had the opportunity to present their work to the Institute’s community, benefiting from the input of more experienced colleagues. The 2008 cohort of Junior Fellows was quite diverse both in terms of research interests and in terms of the methodological and theoretical approaches. At the same time, their work fit nicely into three somewhat narrow topical categories that allowed for an exploration of the general theme of “reconciling the irreconcilable” through three thematic panels.
