The goal of the seminar is to read and discuss, together with a discussant (a senior ARTES member) texts on theory and methodology from the humanities and the social sciences. In this way, all ARTES Phd-candidates are not only offered a way to strengthen their theoretical and methodological skills, but also to reflect on their own thesis project from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Participation is expected both for internal and external Phd-candidates. Meetings will be hybrid, in order to enable Phd candidates at a distance also to participate. 

Registration for each series is required: artes-fgw@uva.nl
