Welcome to Kick-off seminar 10 September 2021!

What futurities of climate are enacted by the IPCC, and how are they involved with historical temporalizations of human-induced processes of more-than-human change?

We want to invite you to an open mid-term evaluation with our PhD-fellow in Environmental Humanities, Laura op de Beke. To comment on the candidates work, we have invited  Dr. Merlin Seller from The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art, where they lecture in Design and Screen Cultures.

For more than a decade, scholars across fields and disciplines have mobilized the concept of “the Anthropocene” as the framework for their studies, be it in history, culture studies, international relations, or environmental humanities. On the other hand, as of October 2020, neither the International Commission on Stratigraphy nor the International Union of Geological Sciences has officially approved the term as a recognised subdivision of geologic time.   

At this seminar, Rachel Douglas-Jones from the IT-University of Copenhagen will invite you to reflect on how the Covid-19 pandemic affects your dissertation work, whether you work ethnographically or textually. By means of exercises and discussions she will help you find your way through this unprecedented and unnerving situation.  

All scholars work with concepts, both analytical and hermeneutical, both emic and etic. But do we always know what they are and how they operate?

Why do people come together to change the world they live in? Why and under what circumstances does social mobilization occur? Why does it turn violent? What are the potential social, cultural, and political consequences?

In this seminar, researchers connected to the LIFETIMES project will invite you to a discussion of what role time and temporalization play in your project, and how you might reflect theoretically or work methodologically with this role.

Welcome to Kick-off seminar 14 October 2019!

This years title will be: Theory, Method, Material

We want to invite you to an open midway-seminar with our PhD-fellow in Museum Studies Liisa-Rávná Finbog. To comment on the candidates work, we have invited Professor Stein Roar Mathisen from the University of Tromsø.

We want to invite you to an open midway-seminar with our PhD-fellow in Chinese Studies Erling Agøy. To comment on the candidates work, we have invited Dr. Joerg Henning Huesemann from Universität Leipzig.

In the week 20-22 May 2019 we will organize an Interdisciplinary PhD-workshop at Centre Universitaire de Norvège à Paris, CUNP.

The seminar aims to propose a critical use of these concepts and will show how this critical approach allows for a better understanding of the fields of research. Our approach is as much pragmatic as it is theoretical: how to better understand a field of research, how to fine-tune analyses on topics that have been already largely covered by previous research and how to draw practical  conclusions on "hot" current issues.
