Cours magistral

Vortrag von Jamie Cohen-Cole (George Washington University) im Rahmen des Forschungskolloquiums "Geschichte des 19. bis 21. Jahrhunderts" im Eikones Forum

Self-Control: Race, Gender, and Social Science, 1950– today is a new, SNF-funded research project at the University of Basel. The project traces how constructions of self-control have shaped understandings of racial and social inequality in the human sciences. Susanne Schmidt, Pokuaa Oduro-Bonsrah, and Antonia von Schöning will examine experiments, longitudinal studies, and cross-cultural investigations conducted in North America, the Caribbean, and East Africa. Their research will show how studies of self-regulation cast social, economic, and political issues in terms of behavioral competence.
