Syllabus
  • The Seminar Series in Social Sciences and Humanities are organized by Faculties of Masaryk University in order to bring together the multiplicity of disciplines the Social Sciences and Humanities offer. But not only the Social Sciences and Humanities. The very first lecture, given by professor of Mathematics, Jaroslav Nešetřil, dwells upon the link of mathematics and art or specifically the Art of Mathematics and Mathematics of Art.
  • In contrast to the art from the perspective of mathematician, Amy Goldrich, a lecturer from New York University and Art Attorney will give an insight into the Art and Law.
  • The other interdisciplinary topic that partially derives from law and will be presented and discussed is language. Prof. Eva Vetter form the University of Vienna will talk upon multilingualism and Languages in Education. An internal researcher, dr. Marek Picha will delve into Identification, Reconstruction and Evaluation of Arguments.
