Description:
This workshop gives new PhD students in Anthropology at Aarhus University and Copenhagen University the opportunity to present their research projects for critical and constructive discussion in order to turn a successful research proposal into a viable fieldwork project. Projects will be considered in terms of research design, the operationalizing of theories and concepts, methods of constructing data in the field, research ethics and insuring openness to the unexpected. The problems of working in different settings will be examined and compared. The workshop will run over 1 day and will bring together the most recent cohort of PhD students and an experienced researcher from each of the two anthropology departments.
Preparation for the course:
1. An English summary of your research project, focusing on research questions and practice (max. 3 pages). The summaries will be distributed to all participants, who are expected to read them in advance. Each summary will also benefit from the consideration of two participants who will present their critique and consider challenges in project planning and design (approx. 5 minutes). This will be followed by a general discussion
2. A detailed time plan for the proposed research, emphasizing fieldwork activities (approx. 1/4 page)
3. Paragraph or a few bullet-points focusing on practical issues that are specifically relevance for your project.
4. Contact information and institute affiliation
Readings:
All read each others' submitted material.
Target group:
The workshop is primarily targeted at PhD students from Institute of Anthropology in Copenhagen and Department of Anthropology at Aarhus University. PhD students from other research schools are welcome to participate in the workshop, if places are available. Please note that you will need to have a background in anthropology, and your project should include anthropological or ethnographic fieldwork.
