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?
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.

What does the digital shift mean for historians? This workshop explores some of the key methodological questions historians encounter when we start using digital tools to answer historical questions. It will also provide training in using digital source materials.
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.
