LeidenGlobal Lecture Series 'Beyond Discipline and Place in the Social Sciences and the Humanities': Developing Our Scholarly Craft
This course is an interdisciplinary series of lectures and seminar discussions open in the fall of each year to PhD candidates and (Research) MA students at Dutch Universities and LeidenGlobal partner institutions.
It offers advanced research students insight into the process of developing the scholarly craft through conversations with experienced scholars working in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (including Archaeology and Law). In sharing their experiences in research, teaching, and public engagement, they will reflect on their socio-political position as researchers in relation to their research, and explore choices of discipline and place along their career path.
Across the semester students will locate their own emerging research projects in relation to disciplinary conventions, with attention to researchers’ positionality and ethical practice. They will work to recognise their strengths and challenges as young scholars, considering how to build on the former and contend with the latter.
Course objectives
The series aims to stimulate conversations and collaborations across disciplinary and societal divides, in line with developments in scholarship worldwide. Ideally, students will participate in this course early on in their scholarly training, but applications by students at all stages of their research careers are welcome.
