Advanced course in Research Ethics: Course participants will learn about and discuss various kinds of fieldwork in different social and political settings. This includes attention to how we navigate the sometimes conflicting demands between open science and the ethical imperative of protecting informants and anyone else contributing to data gathering in the field.

Advanced Course in Theories of Knowledge: This course seeks to equip PhD candidates doing research into social and political issues to understand the epistemological and normative assumptions underpinning adjacent research in the social sciences. It invites them to reflect on the i) formulation of research questions, case selection and ambitions for generalisation, as well as ii) their approach to underlying ethical and political considerations and the various audiences and contexts of use for their research. The goal is to make PhD candidates able to critically reflect on the various ways to generalise and to contextualize their research in relationship to contemporary policy and society, and what may be useful and relevant in their own research.

Can exhibitions be qualified as research-in-itself? If they can, then how? Which criteria should be the basis of evaluating and verify research exhibitions? The aim of the PhD course is to build a solid knowledge-base for understanding the relationship between exhibitions and research in the past and today, in order to collectively explore potentials and challenges for what can be called research-by-display.
