What is the role of history in society? How may historical knowledge and insight help contemporary societies deal with major political and social issues that fundamentally challenge their perspectives and self-understanding? And more precisely, how can historians and historical insights contribute when societies confront painful and difficult aspects of their own histories and contemporary life?

Cand.philol. Lars Morten Fuglevik at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History will defend his dissertation An Archaeology of Consuming Passions: Household Pottery and Urban Commensal Strategies in Early and High Medieval Oslo for the degree of philosophiae doctor (PhD).

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. This workshop is held in conjunction with the Norwegian History Days 2024.
