After a career spanning 33 years across various departments at Copenhagen Business School, the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University, we would like to pay tribute to him and his tremendous contribution to research and academic life.
BHL has organized a special event focusing on Lars Bo Kaspersen’s key research areas, particularly his great effort to theorize societal transformation in contemporary State, Market, and Civil Society.
We have invited three distinguished speakers to engage with the topic from three different angles, followed by a panel discussion led by Norman Gabriel, Essex (UK).
