Kolleg-Lecture in the digital Kolleg-Forum by Prof. Robert van Krieken: "The Civilizing Process and Sustainability"

25 November 2020

Since November Prof. Robert van Krieken is again digital Fellow at our Centre. He is Professor at the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Sydney. His research interests include: “Social change, socio-legal issues (practical and theoretical), family law, the changing formation of identity and the self under varying social and historical conditions, power and social control, changing patterns of state-formation, technology and social relationships, application of social theory to current societal transformations, celebrity as a social form, globalization.“

The lecture is based on a paper (work-in-progress) for the Journal of Sociology which focuses on COVID-19, but with a range of implications for the broader questions of sustainability.
