Situated Practices Seminars

The Situated Practices Seminars contribute to, and explore the interest of a ‘practical turn' in the study of social phenomena. They successively treat different settings in which social activities take place, through ethnographic and video-supported sociological enquiries. They focused on the situated character of practical activities, as achieved and oriented to by their participants. Open to a general academic audience, the Seminars bring together a number of leading experts for in-depth presentations followed by critical discussion.
