Ph. D. seminars

Short description:

The seminar is interdisciplinary in nature, although it is conducted for PhD students focused on the study of the human past. This means that the offer of the class is naturally directed by the tutors to those preparing dissertations within the discipline of ‘archaeology’ and are required by their study programme to attend. However, the doors of the seminar are opened to all SDNH doctoral students who have a need for support on topics at least partly using methods or sources typical of archaeology. The seminar is designed to support doctoral students in their individual development, in the preparation of their thesis and to foster relationships between doctoral students and their supervisors. It is a forum for exchanging ideas and confronting the results of their work with the seminar group. Whenever possible, seminar leaders will present current research trends that broaden the knowledge and perspectives of doctoral students within the knowledge of the human past.
