Course description

  • Peer groups have been shown to offer PhD students significant benefits, including disciplinary, practical, moral, and emotional support. This seminar consists of two elements, firstly a writing retreat offering time for writing in the beautiful surroundings of Ørslev Kloster, and a series of workshops focused on peer support, feedback strategies, planning strategies and writing tools. It thus offers a set of tools that will help PhD students when writing the dissertation and academic articles, introducing them to, for example, peer groups as a support strategy and to a variety of writing strategies and techniques, including peer feedback methods, as well as to the peer review process and dissertation assessment criteria and genres. Before the seminar, PhD students will submit a draft of the article/paper/chapter that they intend to work on at Ørslev (10-25 pages). As part of the seminar, they will receive feedback on this draft from lecturers as well as their peers.
  • The seminar is initiated by the three PhD-programme-directors at School of Culture and Society (CAS), Aarhus University, and we expect participants to represent different disciplines within CAS. When setting up the groups for feedback and when allocating senior respondents, we will do our best to make appropriate and fruitful matches, so that historians, anthropologists, philosophers etc. will in general be grouped with PhD-students from their own or closely related disciplines. At the same time, we hope to facilitate cross-disciplinary meetings during workshops and social events.
