En nationell doktorandkurs i etnologi ordnas hösten 2024 av Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologi, Uppsala universitet. Språket är svenska.

Kortfattad information om kursen:

Utgångspunkten i denna kurs är att narrativ utgör en praktik bland andra i det som konstituerar vår levda verklighet. Eftersom detta innebär att narrativ ofrånkomligt sammanflätas med andra praktiker, är dessa inte möjliga att förstå utan att samtidigt ta hänsyn till narrativen, och tvärtom. Kursen är huvudsakligen praktiskt inriktad och syftar till att ge doktoranden verktyg för att begreppsliggöra, operationalisera och reflektera över narrativ och narrativ teori som en del av sin egen forskningspraktik.

This four-day PhD course, hosted by the Department of Archaeology, History, Cultural Studies and Religion at University of Bergen, explores the various challenges of, and opportunities for, working with more-than-human. In lectures, seminars, discussions, a museum tour and an experimental walk, we will examine the more-than-human through themes of aquatic environments, the supernatural and methodologies for environmental humanities research.

Humlab and DIGSUM at Umeå University invite PhD students to take part in our PhD course Digital Research (7.5 credits). The course runs, in hybrid format (online and on location in Umeå), February and March 2024. Note! You must have approval from your main supervisor in order to attend the course.

The course gives an orientation in digital research within the humanities and social sciences. This orientation is broad, and deals with digital research methods and tools, as well as with issues relating to the digitalisation of society and culture as objects of study. The first part of the course introduces a set of methods and brings attention to issues of digital research ethics, while the second part consists of a number of topical applications. The course is a collaboration between Humlab and Centre for Digital Social Research, DIGSUM.

Last day to register is 10 January 2024.
