April 22, 2021 - 4:15 - 5:45 p.m.

 Prof. Dr. Egon Flaig, Rostock

As part of the lecture series for the 2021 summer semester on the topic of "Power, Violence and Gender", the Chair of Ancient History is delighted to have Prof. Dr. Egon Flaig, a specialist in questions of power in antiquity, to kick off the lecture series. Egon Flaig was a professor at the University of Rostock until his retirement in 2014. He has made an outstanding name for himself both nationally and internationally in his field thanks to his methodological approaches, which he bases on the sociological theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Max Weber in particular.
