How to Theorize: Moving from your research towards “theory”

26.05.2021, 17:00 - 19:30
online,

Online meet-up of the SGR-SSSR Mittelbau/corps intermédiaire with a guest lecture by Ivan Strenski.

organized by Mattias Brand (ZH) & Bastiaan van Rijn (BE)

The second online Mittelbau meet-up provides an opportunity to meet colleagues from other universities and think about an essential step in your career: tying your individual research interests and findings to theories on a higher level of abstraction, opening up doors to new projects and international cooperation beyond your specific topic. Specifically, we have invited Ivan Strenski to discuss with us questions regarding the disciplinary nature of the study of religion: What keeps us together? Do we have a research program, sharing general research questions? Please note that there are two recommended readings for the presentation.

Apart from this lecture and a plenary discussion, we will have ample time for more informal conversation and exchange about the PhD/Postdoc life during a pandemic.
See Program.

Languages: The conference will be held in English. Some of the panels can be organized in linguistic units (de, fr) if necessary.
