About this course
The course consists of two components: 1) A series of seminars where the PhD candidates discuss IEDS relevant literature. To each seminar one of the candidates presents a text (an article, a book chapter or similar), and participants (PhDs, supervisors and the course coordinator) discuss the texts taking on different roles of chairing, discussing and commenting. 2) An individual literature review developed in coordination between the PhD candidates and their main supervisors or supervisory teams. The candidates define a reading list relevant for their individual PhD projects and write a review paper.
