The History and Social Sciences ForumThe University of Chicago's History and Social Sciences Forum, organized by Professors Steven Pincus and Scott Gehlbach, seeks to highlight cross-disciplinary scholarship in history, political science, sociology, economics, and law. The forum is held four times per quarter and currently meets via zoom. We host faculty from within the University of Chicago to briefly present and discuss a pre-circulated paper. Faculty and graduate students are encouraged to attend and to enroll in our mailing list by signing up here. |
