Poststructuralism (Re)Visited

               a TBLR/Bergen PhD-researcher training course

held at the Univ. of Bergen

18th and 19th of June 2012.

 

Our invitation to the participants to submit course evaluations

has as of 17th August 2012 led to the following comments submitted:

 

 

 

I very much liked the format (first day themed, with visiting speakers;

second day focussed on graduate work).

My only further comment would be: encourage more graduates

to submit work for discussion, given how rare it is to get such an opportunity.

 

 

 

The introduction of the guest-lectures by PhD-candidates was very

successful and rewarding both for the one who carefully prepared the

introduction and those having the pleasure getting a guest-lecturer

appropriately introduced. Additionally, such an introduction gives the

guest-scholar the respectful attention he/she deserves.

 

Commentary to guest-lectures by PhD-candidates was well done and

useful (as always is a second perspective).

 

Next time, I would like to have the lecture-paper beforehand, or at

least afterwards (or did I miss it?!).

 

The seminar had a very specific topic, two paper formats were

accepted: either course-specific, or simply related to the

dissertation of the PhD-candidate (not specific to the topic of the

seminar). For the future, if a paper presentation is specific to a

particular topic, I would appreciate it, if it was briefly

positioned/contextualized to the seminar's theme (a paragraph long or

so; as a requirement). I think that such a reflection would be useful

to both the presenter and the audience – and would (also didactically

if we want) help to keep track of a seminar's topic. To those new to a

particular topic, it could be of use to understand how different

research problems&questions are related to a particular theme (think

of the soon to be PhD-students attending a course like this...maybe it

would be useful to access beforehand the status of course-participants

in order to also address their needs).

 

All in all, I was a delighted participant of the course and thank TBLR

for the opportunity for sharing my feedback.
