Abstract
In this colloquium, doctoral students can present their research plan, share a chapter of their thesis, discuss a problem they are facing with their sources, etc. They obtain feedback by postdocs as well by the peer students taking part in the colloquium.
Objective
Obtain feedback on the doctoral research plan as required by ETH Zurich, when applicable, as well as on their research at large.
Content
Doctoral students from the Chair of the History of the Modern World attend this colloquium every semester, during which they present their research according to their PhD stage. All students are supposed to read and comment on their peers’ research ideas and plans throughout both semesters. A one-off 1 ETCS can be credited to registered students. At the end of the second semester, students present their work (the research plan or a 5000-word article) in front of the entire team and two external commentators.
