First-Year Core Skills Course (HEC-GS-CORE-26)

HEC-GS-CORE-26

Purpose

Description

>

The Core Skills Course is aimed at initiating a discussion about the essential skills required to do a PhD in History. The course promotes a shared culture of discussion and engagement among first-year researchers coming from very different backgrounds and diverse academic and linguistic traditions.

The course includes work on a wide range of skills covering the entire span of the PhD, from literature review to publication and career choices. After an introductory session, the following sessions will deal with skills necessary to manage academic literature and bibliographic references and to work with primary sources, with the use of the appropriate methods (including digital and interdisciplinary ones), with work ethics and practice (from collaboration and feedback to event-organising), with strategies for publishing, for reaching out to different publics, and for building an academic or non-academic career.

All Professors of the Department and other members of the EUI academic community will participate in the course as guest speakers in order to introduce researchers to the Department’s fields of expertise, methodological, theoretical and thematic approaches.
