Summer School 
Social research and social life
Relations between research, politics and public life were discussed at the WZB on Thursday, July 19th, as part of the Second Summer School in Social Sciences. On the panel were, amongst others, Craig Calhoun, the new director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Henry E. Brady from the University of California, Berkeley. The live recording is now online as an mp3-file.
To what extent can and should the research agenda be influenced by practical policy concerns? What kind of questions can social scientists successfully answer for society? The Summer School aims to bring together young and experienced researchers. The discussion language was English, find the audiofile below.
