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 and are expected to be read in advance. To each summary two participants will be assigned so that they can prepare a brief critique (approx. 5 minutes), which opens up for general discussion.
2. A detailed time plan for the proposed research, emphasizing fieldwork activities (approx. 1/4 page)
3. Paragraph or some bullet-points on any issues of practice that is of specific relevance for you.
4. Contact information and institute affiliation
