This is the first event in the Green Templeton Social Science Seminar Series and will be followed by discussion and refreshment. The series aims to increase dialogue between the social science disciplines at Green Templeton and beyond.

The social sciences represent a diverse spectrum of disciplines ranging through population and demography, public health, anthropology, human geography, criminology and more. ‘Environment’ provides a common theme for debate, acting as a locus for inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue.
