Ph.d.-kurs

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 focus on preventing, managing and, hopefully, breaking the writer's block. 

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.

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.

Research ethics and methods are intimately connected. Research in history shall take place in accordance with legal rules and ethical norms. This responsibility lies with the early career researcher, their supervisors and the institutions that employ them. What lies in the supervisor’s responsibility and how do we deal with ethical dilemmas when supervising history students and PhD fellows? The Norwegian Research School in History (NRSH) invites supervisors at our partner institutions to a two-day workshop in Oslo in March 2023 (NB! postponed from December 2022).
