Europe in the world (SPS-REHOF-EUR-25)

SPS-REHOF-EUR-25

Purpose

In this two semester-long seminar (meeting every other week), we will address broad topics such as the struggle over European sovereignty, the autocratization of member-states and norm trajectories – and will locate Europe’s place and role therein from an interdisciplinary angle. We will tackle these topics with the help of invited guest speakers, who will present their cutting-edge work-in-progress. Sonia Lucarelli (University of Bologna), Bahar Rumelili (Koç University), Frédéric Mérand (Université de Montréal), Hylke Dijkstra (Maastricht University), Chiara Ruffa (Sciences Po Paris), Anna Herranz Surreales (Maastricht University), and Thomas Sommerer (University of Potsdam) are the confirmed guest speakers.

Each seminar will start with a 30-minute discussion among seminar participants and the seminar instructor, where were situate the guest speaker’s scholarship, before we invite in the guest speaker to the 1,5-hour presentation and Q&A. Each seminar participant will at least once take on the role of discussant and “resident expert”.

The main goals of the seminar are to (1) familiarize researchers with leading scholars and scholarship in their discipline, (2) discuss the ropes of how to present and (3) discuss academic work constructively and learn about the substantive research areas.
