Virtual Doctorate School 2022

 

 

 

 

 

What: A small group of students who will present their work, read each other’s work, and provide feedback to their peers, coordinated and led by one faculty member serving as an academic advisor.
Who: PhD students in urban related disciplines who are actively working on their thesis/dissertation. The School is not suitable for students who are at the early portion of their PhD studies, as it focuses on discussing, reviewing, and refining existing work for scholarly presentation and publication.
When: One 2-3 hour meeting on April 7/8, May 12/13, and June 9/10. A workshop on how to publish papers in urban studies will follow these sessions.
Why: To bring together students from as many regions of the world as possible to discuss their work (in English) with each other coordinated by an established scholar.
Where: On Zoom

Program Description

The Virtual Doctorate School is aimed at PhD students who are actively working on their thesis/dissertation on a topic that contributes to conceptual and theoretical debates in urban sociology or urban studies more broadly. A key objective in the selection process and the creation of the smaller cohorts is to have significant representation from each continent. The school provides PhD students with an opportunity to learn from each other as they share their work in a small group overseen by an established scholar from an urban studies related discipline. The goal is to offer PhD students an engaging environment to present their work and to engage with other scholars and established faculty in the field of urban sociology and related disciplines.
