Each semester a new topic studied and discussed in four sessions at the Department of Economic and Social History.
The topics dealt with so far included among others: Economic Anthropology, Tragedy of the Commons, Famines and Agriculture and Economic Development.
Agrarian Studies Group Lectures
In addition to the discussion sessions, the Agrarian Studies Group Lecture takes place at irregular intervals. International researchers from the broad field of Agrarian Studies will be inbited to Vienna for a public lecture (as well as a workshop).
So far, the economic anthropologist Chris Hann and the economic historian Cormac Ó Gráda (2019) have been won over.
