Research Colloquium of the Dept. of Politics and EconomicsThe idea of the colloquium is to bring a small group of early-stage researchers (mainly doctoral and postdoc researchers) together for a regular, intensive discussion of texts produced by participants of the colloquium (mostly PhD proposals, thesis or book chapters, conference papers, journal articles or grant applications). Participants meet about once a month on a Friday afternoon. In 2020 the colloquium has been switched to an online format. At each meeting up to two texts can be discussed. The input text for each presentation should be submitted at least a week before the meeting, so that all participants are well prepared for the discussion. At the online meeting the presentations are no longer than 10 minutes (as all participants have already read the related text). As most texts speak for themself, usually there is no need for a presentation at all and the colloquium immediately starts with the feedback round (as often the next readers are reviewers who do not get any presentation either). In the feedback round every participant (in alphabetical order of first names as indicated in the chat section of the video conference tool) shortly outlines the most important strong and weak points of the text/project. Questions and comments are collected, the presenter replies to all of them at the end of the feedback round. This may lead to a follow-up discussion. Contact: Heiko Pleines (pleines@uni-bremen.de) |
