Interdisciplinary Doctoral Workshop: Historical Research Practices with Prof. Andrew Goble (University of Oregon)

The workshop aims to establish a dialogue between diciplines by reflecting on the historical research practices across various fields. Many questions are of interest, such as, for example: - what are dominant research paradigms? (eg. hagiography vs. systematic approach) - what problems are being addressed? What is not being addressed? - what sources are used? (eg. written documents vs. archaeological excavations) - how does the selection of topics influence the selection of sources and vice-versa? Participants will have the opportunity to discuss problems faced in their own research connected to these issues and exchange ideas with peers from other fields. Organized by Alexandra Ciorcaro (PhD Candidate, ZUrich University)
