The “Paris IAS Ideas” online talk series features short and stimulating presentations from fellows of the Paris Institute for Advanced Study. The talks mark the beginning of 1-month writing residencies in which fellows will write a paper with the “definitive” version of an idea of concept they have been working on for years.

Short, 20-minute presentations will be followed by interdisciplinary discussions with researchers across social sciences and humanities. Everyone is welcome to attend and contribute to the debates that will inform the fellows’ work at the Paris IAS.
