Most PhD projects operate with some kind of time frame for the study, a start and an end, and a set of intervals, periods, or dates that serve to delimit the object of study. In some cases this object might have a time of its own, which be more or less aligned with time frames brought to it by the researcher.
The course will be a combination of keynote lectures and in-depth discussion of texts. In addition to a reading list, papers will be pre-circulated and commentators will be appointed to each participant.
How do I sign up for the course:
Please send an email to kari.andersen@ikos.uio.no by 14 February and specify whether you want to present something at the seminar or not.
Deadline for paper is 20 February 2020.
About the paper:
The final paper should be no longer than a minimum 5-pages, maximum 10 pages, with text reflecting on the theme of the seminar and how this plays out in your own research. The texts will be pre-circulated among the participants ahead of the seminar.
ECTS points
Generally, you will get 1 ECTS point for attending the seminar, 2 ECTS points for a presentation or a comment.
