A new seminar for PhD-students and advanced students from any discipline, interested in social theory broadly conceived. During spring 2015 we will be reading David Graeber's Debt: the first 5000 years. The text will be available via moodle for registered participants.

Each participant gives a brief presentation of a chapter for the basis of a discussion in the seminar; and at the end of the term returns a brief seminar diary of all the chapters (consisting of notes and own ideas).
