Program for the dissertation seminars in popular music, spring 2019
This semester a list is set up below where each of you in turn delivers your contributions in advance to the rest of the group. A contribution could be a draft chapter, draft of ideas, revised project description, blog/memo, recording/sound mix, etc.
For the sake of discussion and increased learning effect, we assume that other participants have also reviewed the contribution in advance.
The arrangements work as follows:
One week before: Deliver text or other kinds of presentation to the opponent and the rest of the group.
During the presentation: Presentation 10 minutes, opponent 15 minutes, joint discussion 20 minutes. Altogether 45 minutes.
Time frame for the dissertation seminars: 09.15–14.00 (lunch break 11.00–12.15)
The presentations start in week 9. Bjørn David Dolmen's doctoral defence in week 5 constitutes the thesis seminar this week.
As you can see below, I have set up 1st year Research Fellows and PhD candidates for presentations. For those of you who started before 2018 (Annbjørg, Solveig, Ingolv Erik, Jango, Bjørn Charles, Kjetil, Kristine and others) please feel free to sign up for presentations after lunch in weeks 9, 13 and 15. If so, let me know as soon as possible.
In addition to what is listed below, there may be more public defences, 90-percent seminars and other lectures / seminars during the spring semester. Further details come.
