Mindenkit szeretettel várunk az MTA TK Szociológia Intézet és a "Lendület" RECENS Kutatócsoport közös jour fixe eseményére 2017. szeptember 21-én (csütörtökön), melyen Érdi Péter (Kalamazoo College) tart előadást "Ranking: The reality, illusion and manipulation of objectivity" címmel.  (az előadás nyelve angol)

Az előadás megrendezésére az MTA TK Szociológia Intézet tárgyalótermében (MTA Humán Tudományok Kutatóháza, 1097 Budapest, Tóth Kálmán utca 4., B. épület, 1. emelet, 15. szoba) kerül sor 13:00-ás kezdettel.
