The AUP Working Paper Series — scholarly workshops in various fields of the social sciences — provides a meeting ground whereby the AUP Community, local scholars, intellectuals, and business and government organizations, can convene with visiting international scholars.

 

The lecture series has been created to stimulate debate and exchange upon critical contemporary issues, such as migration and immigration, environmental sustainability, and a range of public policy and social science research questions.
