A PhD seminar examining the rhythms of border-crossings in cultural and literary forms at the University of Oslo, 4-5 April 2019, with guests Kathryn M. Lachman and Wolfgang Müller-Funk.

Today, public debate is becoming increasingly strained in liberal democracies across the globe. Political polarization, the rise of social media and so-called echo chambers have helped upset established norms governing conversations in the public sphere. But are we justified in viewing these recent developments as a form of decay? Was the public exchange of opinions necessarily less polarized and more deliberative in the past?

We wish to invite you to an open midway assessment for our Doctoral Research Fellow in Musicology Guilherme Schmidt Câmara

To comment on the candidate's work, we have invited Professor Justin London from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota.

20 March: Recognising other voices

• how to present secondary literature
• how to paraphrase, quote, refer to
• styles of referencing
• punctuation

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.

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 foundational problems in history.

This 5 ECTS course adresses 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.
