To participate in part 2, send us a short outline:
For us to be able to set up the event in a meaningfulway and prepare fruitful feedback to you, we would ask you to send us just one-two page(s) (500 words) that describes:
- Brief background: Academic situation (MA, PhD, postdoc, independent, etc.), national and institutional context (faculty, discipline).
- Brief outline of the idea and background behind your research topic or issue, including the most central research question(s).
- What key theories (and methods if empirical) and core concepts do you plan or contemplate to use in your studies? Are you aiming to draw on a particular theoretical framework or the work of a particular theorist or thinker?
- What you would like to ask us? What is that core challenge for you at the moment that you’d like feedback on (could be either process or product related), and what issue would you like to discuss?
