450400 SE Doctoral seminar: Human Geography (2020W)

The three Working Groups belonging to Human Geography and Applied Geography jointly organize this Dissertationsseminar. The purpose of the Seminar is to establish and support a culture of peer review and collaboration, to source perspectives from throughout Human Geography and Spatial Planning, and to "institutionalize" the progression of dissertation research. Rather than a formal, frontal presentation, the Dissertationsseminar is more like a workshop and interactive round-table discussion.

General setting:
- One or two students per seminar
- ca. 60 minutes per student (25-30 min presentation, 10-15 min comments and suggestions from the discussant, 20 min questions and comments from the audience)
- Postdocs and master students are explicitly invited and welcomed
- Invited discussants are asked to prepare presentations, summarizing the strengths of the PhD project, identifying potentials for improvement and offering other advice.
