Research events

Lecture by Miyo Tanaka, second-year master's student in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights at the UiO. 

Master Hyebin Lee at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages will defend her dissertation A Study of the Māṇavikā Chapter in the Uttaragrantha with Newly Identified Sanskrit fragments for the degree doctor philosophiae (Dr.philos).

Can exhibitions be qualified as research-in-itself? If they can, then how? Which criteria should be the basis of evaluating and verify research exhibitions? The aim of the PhD course is to build a solid knowledge-base for understanding the relationship between exhibitions and research in the past and today, in order to collectively explore potentials and challenges for what can be called research-by-display.

We want to invite you to an open evaluation with our PhD-fellow in Japanese Studies Ben Grafstrom. To comment on the candidates work, we have invited Assistant Professor of ethnography and performing arts of Japan, Andrea Giolai (Leiden University).
