European Doctoral Seminar on the Anthropology of Development and Social Dynamics (Copenhagen, June 1-3, 2015)
The European doctoral school for the anthropology of development and social dynamics organizes every two years a doctoral seminar hosted by one of the participating research institutions. Since the early 1990s, the doctoral school has offered a forum of exchange to young and senior scholars from various European and non-European (mainly African) countries working on topics linked to development and social change. The doctoral school is bilingual in French and English and a good understanding of both languages is required to participate. In a three-day session, a group of around 25 junior and senior PhD students come together and intensively discuss a broad range of topics, defined by the research interests of the young researchers and the topics of their doctoral theses. Every doctoral candidate gets the opportunity to give an overview of his or her thesis, to present a chapter or to discuss particular questions, and receives comments from two senior researchers specialised in their region and/or theme. Senior PhD students present their articles or chapters in plenary sessions while junior PhD students present their research in smaller and more specialised panels (the themes of the panels will depend on the subject of the papers submitted).
