Intruiging talks and a lively discussion awaited the audience and the panel members at yesterdays CSS Lecture Series. Tanja Bogusz, sociologist and Michael Schnegg, anthropologist, both from Hamburg University, together with Frédéric Keck from the Laboratory of Social Anthropology at the EHESS Paris talked about Human-Environmental Relations in Crisis - Anthropological and Sociological Perspectives.

Frédéric Keck, Michael Schnegg and Tanja Bogusz each gave a glimpse of the topics of their current research in their opening statements. Frédéric Keck introduced the concept of One Health and its interpretations in different parts of the world as a means to deal with interspecies relations in response to pandemics. Tanja Bogusz talked about the concept of "fieldwork" in marine and social sciences and why truely interdsiciplinary collaboration remains a challenge and outlined her DFG funded project "Experiencing nature and society: A multi-sited inquiry on marine and ethnographic field sciences". Michael Schnegg spoke about how environmental crises are theorized from the South, and how different ways of knowing open up a window for hope, political action and social transformation.

A lively discussion amongst the panel members and the audience ensued in the second half of the event.
