The Ghent Urban Studies Team (GUST) is proud to present its first Doctoral Colloquium:
May 19, 2009, from 9.30 am - 5.00 pm
Venue: Ghent University, Blandijn building, Faculteitszaal
The GUST Doctoral Colloquium provides a forum for graduate students whose research is connected to the GUST hallmark: the study of the contemporary city from an interdisciplinary point of view. The colloquium is a joint initiative of Ghent University's English Department and its Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, and is funded by GUST, the Doctoral School of Arts, Humanities and Law, and the Doctoral School of Engineering. The colloquium is open to the public.
The selected speakers are asked to present their doctoral research in one of two ways. In the first scenario, the student gives a fifteen minute presentation of his or her work on the basis of an article, which is distributed beforehand. This presentation will be followed by feedback from the GUST members and from a non-GUST referee chosen by the student. The second scenario, designed for doctoral students in an earlier stage of their research, allows for a presentation and feedback without the prior distribution of an article. The presentation languages are English, Dutch and French.
Admission to the colloquium is free, but registration is required by e-mail to before May 8, 2009. Registration includes lunch and two coffee breaks.
