About the topic
The Winter School aims to provide students from the 6 ReMa programmes in the Netherlands (RUG, RU, EUR, UU, UvA, and VU) with representative samples of the philosophical research carried out at Dutch universities. It will moreover contribute to their professional development and give them an opportunity to meet one another.
Aim / objective
Lectures
Fleur Jongepier (RU), James Pearson (UL), Lodi Nauta (RUG) and Joel Anderson (UU), who are active at different universities and in different phases of their careers, will give a lecture on a topic linked to their current research.
Workshops
Every participant will also follow one of the two parallel workshops scheduled on Friday morning. Both focus on learning and practicing a skill, notably how to write a philosophical blogpost or column and how to write a research proposal. The workshops will be run by three former Research Master students of Radboud University, namely Fleur Jongepier (UD Ethics, RU), Carli Coenen (NWO PhD grant in the Humanities, Open University), and Lars Cornelissen (post-doc Social and Political Philosophy, RU).
Panel sessions
On Friday afternoon, two panel sessions will be held on career prospects within and beyond academia. A number of guests, among whom former Research Master students, will talk about their own experience in obtaining a PhD or a post-doc position or in finding a job outside academia.
On Saturday afternoon Christoph Lüthy, dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Radboud University, will enter into debate with Joel Anderson, coordinator of the Research Master programme at Utrecht University, and Lodi Nauta, dean of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Groningen, about the role of philosophy and the humanities in academia and society.
