Social Theory Reading Group

The Social Theory Reading Group aims to explore foundational texts in historical and sociological theory, beginning this year with Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Open to early modernists and historians of related periods, the group provides a collaborative space for historiographical analysis and methodological reflection.
