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 http://www.uni-hannover.de/campuslecture.
