Every PhD thesis needs to explicitly grapple with issues of theory and methods. This PhD course grabs the bull by the horns and challenges participants to seriously engage with foundational problems in history.
This 5 ECTS course addresses foundational problems related to theory (ideas/principles to explain a practice or account for a situation) and method (planned procedure to pursue knowledge), and highlights the connections between them.

PhD seminar (2 or 1 ECTS) on qualitative methods with dr. polit. Anne Waldrop, Professor at OsloMet. The seminar is for PhD fellows at ILOS and neigbouring departments in the Faculty of Humanities.
Every historian operates deliberately or unknowingly with a spatial and emotional context. However, spaces and emotions are elusive concepts that are difficult to distinguish. This seminar hopes to make these perspectives less obscure. By discussing the participants’ research projects in relation to these theories, theoretical questions will be considered such as: How can we study emotions and spaces in history? What is the relation between spaces and places, as well as emotions and affections? How do discourses on spaces and emotions change over time and how do these concepts interact with each other?
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?
This course in research dissemination and outreach teaches the possibilities and demands of disseminating research to a general, non-academic audience. It provides hands-on writing skills, starting from the course participants' PhD projects and discipline, as well as academic reflection on news and current affairs media as arenas for research dissemination.
The thesis seminar is a compulsory component of the PhD programme. Organized by Professor Tina Skouen, ILOS.
