The mid-term evaluation is organized in two parts and starts with a 2-hour public seminar, followed by a closed meeting.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the progress of the PhD project at a point when it is still possible to make small or substantial changes. In general, we want to know how the candidate is doing, how much work is done, and what is left.
About the PhD candidate and his research
As part of the project Bodies in Translation: Science, Knowledge and Sustainability in Cultural Translation, my current research focuses on cultural translations in early modern ethnographic descriptions of the Tupi and Guarani in South America.
