The Dutch Research School of Philosophy (OZSW) and the OZSW PhD Council invite PhD students to register for the RANT workshop taking place on Friday June 19th 2020
The RANT Workshop offers a unique opportunity to PhD students to present papers that are still work in progress to an expert audience during an intensive 45minutes session. Each presenter receives feedback both from the other RANT participants and from one senior scholar who acts as discussant.
The event is organised by the PhD students of one of the OZSW’s partner faculties who select the presenters and match them with discussants. This year the PPE Researchers of the John Stuart Mill College (VU Amsterdam) have gathered 6 interesting papers in the field of political theory that will be presented over 2 interactive sessions.
