The “Science Explains the World” Discussion Series
“Science Explains the World” is a series of discussion meetings centered around the MONOGRAPHS publishing series, organized by the Foundation for Polish Science in cooperation with the History Meeting House (Dom Spotkań z Historią, DSH).
Description
Organized by the Foundation for Polish Science in cooperation with the History Meeting House, the initiative SCIENCE EXPLAINS THE WORLD. ENCOUNTERS WITH FNP MONOGRAPHS AT DSH is a series of meetings aimed at using science to help us better understand our complex everyday lives. Each month, authors of the FNP Monographs series – which features works in the humanities and social sciences – engage in conversations with guests from the worlds of art, culture, and academia. Together, they explore various dimensions of daily life: from entertainment and interpersonal relationships to questions of identity and memory. Each meeting offers a chance to transcend disciplinary boundaries and seek new ways of understanding ourselves and the world of the past, present, and future.
The events take place at the History Meeting House, located at 20 Karowa Street in Warsaw.
