Advanced course in methods: This one-day PhD course introduces “materialities” as both a conceptual approach and a research methodology across the humanities and social sciences. The course explores how scholars have foregrounded things, environments, and more-than-human relations to rethink culture, society, and historical knowledge.
In the evolving landscape of archaeological research, the integration of digital tools and technologies has dramatically transformed how data is documented, analysed, structured, and shared from fieldwork through to long-term curation and reuse. This 5-ECTS course would seek to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by this shift.
Advanced course in Ethics: This course aims at equipping young researchers with the skills and insights needed to address the challenges of research collaboration. Through presentations, conversations, and exercises, we will discuss how to prepare for collaborating with other researchers and how to ensure clear communication and productive co-authorship.
This 5-ECTS course for PhD Fellows aims to explore the categories and concepts that underpin research into the long Viking Age. How do we frame our interpretations, how confident can or should we be, and are we all speaking the same academic language?
Advanced course in methods: Archives are collections of documents and institutions that preserve them. What have been kept, for what purposes, by whom, and how can they be accessed? And how does asking these questions help students of the present and the past shape new research questions and design more thoughtful and better research projects? This course seeks to enable students to engage with the epistemic problems presented by archives. What is it possible to know and represent through archival sources, and what are the limitations to what can be known?
This 5-ECTS course for PhD Fellows course aims to explore the ‘Viking phenomenon’ in every sense of the term. The primary (but non-exclusive) focus will be on the start of the so-called Viking Age: why and how did it begin, why then, and are we justified in making such a division of the distant past?
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.
