The
European
summer school for the anthropology of development and social dynamics
is an intensive seminar
for doctoral students, organized and hosted
every two years
by one of the participating research-institutions and universities.
Since the early 1990s, the doctoral school has offered a forum of
exchange to young and senior scholars from various European and
non-European (mainly African) countries
working on topics linked to development and social change in the countries of the Global South. The summer
school is bilingual in French and English and a good understanding of
both languages is required to participate.In a three-day session, a
group of around 20 junior and senior researchers come together and
intensively discuss a broad range of topics, defined by the research
interests of the young researchers and the topics of their doctoral
theses. Every doctoral candidate gets the opportunity to give an
overview of his or her thesis, to present a certain chapter or to
discuss particular questions. |
