Dear students and members of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology

We kindly invite all students and faculty to the summer roundtable “utopian seminars” on Wednesday July 3rd 16:00-18:00h. Leaving infrastructural constraints of seminar rooms as well as audit concerns behind, we would like to invite you to dream together about seminar utopias. What do we aspire the ideal seminar to look like?

The roundtable will be held in English and German. We are aware that for many this is not the native language, and we support each other in translating.
