Hans Kilian Lectures

Lecture series in transdisciplinary human sciences

With support from the Köhler Foundation, additional initiatives have been launched in reference to the Hans Kilian Award. Beside the publication of selected papers by Hans Kilian in several volumes (for the information on the first volume please see Publications), since the summer term 2011, the Ruhr University of Bochum has been hosting the Hans Kilian lecture series that feature important topics of social and cultural research in primarily interdisciplinary perspective. In the line with the Hans Kilian Award, this lecture series aims to encourage and promote a new conceptualization of the historical and cultural existence of mankind in the context of the globalised postmodern world. The lectures are open to public.

In winter term 2012/13 und summer term 2013, Hans Kilian lecture series do not take place and start again in winter term 2013/14. Presently, a bilingual edition of the first Hans Kilian lecture series is being prepared for the publication (Psychosozial Verlag 2013).

For the former plan please see Hans Kilian Lectures. For more information please contact the academic manager of the co-ordination bureau Dr Gala Rebane (Gala.Rebane@rub.de).
