During the coronavirus crisis, the home has assumed a new role: as an office and school, as well as a space for study, childcare and mandatory self-isolation. Within the framework of the Leibniz Campus Lecture of Leibniz University Hannover, Prof. Dr. Eva Illouz will explore the challenges that arise from this, as well as how people define intimacy, family and the home. The lecture entitled "When the Home Becomes the Battlefront of a Pandemic. Reflections on an Impossible Location" will be held in English.
The live online format will take place on Wednesday, 11 November 2020 at 6 p.m. and will be available at www.uni-hannover.de/campuslecture. The lecture and the chat will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Mathias Frisch and Dr. Lucie White from the Institute of Philosophy at LUH. There is no need to register.
