After Hours Conversations

Faculty, members, visitors, staff, spouses, and partners are welcome. Not open to the public. These meetings will be held online. After Hours Conversations is a program of informal meetings that are held from 5:00 pm till 7:00 pm, on Thursdays, in October and November and again in February and March. The talk starts at 5:30 pm. The sessions will be moderated by Piet Hut, Program in Interdisciplinary Studies; Didier Fassin, School of Social Science; Helmut Hofer, School of Mathematics; and Myles W. Jackson, School of Historical Studies. The format is as follows: at 5:30 pm, someone will give an informal presentation of no more than 10 minutes, intended for a general audience. The topic will be a brief description of a major open problem in his or her field, together with suggestions for possible future progress with respect to that problem. This talk will be followed by 20 minutes of discussion, until 6:00 pm. The Zoom link will stay open to 7pm, so feel free to hang around to chat with each other, after the plenary discussion with the speaker ends around 6pm. A one-time registration is required. A zoom link will be sent to you upon registering. If anyone would like to volunteer to give a talk, please send an email to Piet Hut (piet@ias.edu), Didier Fassin (dfassin@ias.edu), Helmut Hofer (hofer@ias.edu) and Myles W. Jackson (myles@ias.edu). Please contact Safa Griffin (sgriffin@ias.edu) for the registration link or questions about the series.
