Workshop: March 11-13, 2026 (in-person) “Organizing for Social Transformation”
In the winter term, we wanted to extend the classic R&R and paper sessions and use our LOST meetings to also exchange about the highlights and challenges of your current field work, to reflect on (work-in-progress) practice transfer projects and articles, or discuss research methods and the presentation of data and findings.
