RANT Workshop 2021

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 4th 2021

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 45 minutes 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 PhD researchers at the Erasmus School of Philosophy (Erasmus University Rotterdam) have gathered 5 interesting papers on the topic of conflict and democracy that will be presented over the course of the workshop.
