PhD courses and seminars

We want to invite you to an open evaluation with our PhD-fellow in Middle East Studies Nalan Azak. To comment on the candidates work, we have invited Professor Jenny White from Stockholm University, Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies

How to write a high-quality PhD dissertation in history? In small groups, students present and discuss their own PhD writing with peers and faculty. The joint module will focus on how to write convincingly about theory and methods. This is a 1 ECTS online course, organized by Nord university. 

This PhD course grabs the bull by the horns and challenges participants to seriously engage with theory (ideas/principles to explain a practice or account for a situation) and method (planned procedure to pursue knowledge), and highlights the connections between them. We also discuss ethical problems in historical research. This is a 5 ECTS course organized by the University of Oslo.

This seminar focuses ongoing research on the roles of materialities, politics, and emotions in the never-ending transformation of influential texts through their reception.
