00:00-00:00 | Campus Moesgaard (Aarhus) Contemplating Fieldwork 25 September & 27 November 2019: We will become more familiar with how we respond and engage as fully embodied beings, and how we actively participate in creating the world and the life, we experience. By enhancing clarity and precision regarding our experience, such training can strengthen the validity of our observations during fieldwork. It may also be of help when fieldwork is personally demanding and potentially stressful.
09:30-16:30 | Campus Moesgård (Aarhus) Art, Anthropology and Cultural History, Masterclass with Clémentine Deliss 12 September 2019: The aim of the masterclass is to discuss and fine-tune the participants’ individual research questions, as well as to consider new interdisciplinary and methodological issues related to the study of anthropology, cultural history and contemporary art. Clémentine Deliss’s special interest is in questions concerning new research practices around so-called ethnographic collections that deal with issues on restitution, provenance and the decolonialization efforts of museums.

- gain insight into transnational policy-making and its impact on European national education policy and practice;
- can analyze and assess conditions for European national education policy based on insight into the complex policy chains across transnational and national actors;
- can analyze and discuss impact on transnational education policy in light of challenges by new nationalisms
- discuss and evaluate the meanings and impact that the above developments are likely to have on educational thinking, policy and practice

09:00-17:00 | Campus Moesgård (Aarhus) Presence 28 August 2019: In his book History and Presence, Robert A. Orsi proposes a model for the study of religion that begins with humans and gods present to each other in the circumstances of everyday life and elaborates a theory of presence for the study of both contemporary religion and history. In the course we ask students to explore what such a theory of presence would mean in their individual project: What would happen if we saw the gods, saints, ghosts and spirits etc who inhabit the worlds they study as ‘really present’ rather than metaphors or symbols? And more broadly: what does ‘presence’ actually mean and how it is given in experience?

00:00-00:00 | Campus Aarhus Research Design and Applied Data Analysis for Quantitative Social Sciences and Education Studies Module A: 26-27 August & Module B: 28-30 August 2019: PhD students who want to do a quantitative PhD project and all PhD students who want to improve their understanding of quantitative literature
Part B requires a basic understanding of descriptive and inference statistics as well as multiple linear regression analysis.

00:00-00:00 | Campus Emdrup (Copenhagen) Ethnographic approaches to the political: Studying post-politics and processes of (de/re-)politicization 19 - 20 August 2019: The students gain new understandings of what is 'political', both within and beyond formal institutions, and of different forms and processes of (de/re-)politization. Moreover, they explore how 'the political' can be studied ethnographically, how they can engage interlocutors and collaborators, and how new understandings of the political can be employed to analyse their ethnographic fieldwork material.

00:00-00:00 | Campus Aarhus The Festal Letters of Athanasius: Their Text and Contexts 12 - 15 August 2019: The Nordic Coptic Network Meeting will consist of lectures and seminars. The lectures should provide background knowledge for the seminars. At the seminars the participants will together translate selected parts of Athanasius’ Festal Letters in Sahidic Coptic. During the seminars, there will also be opportunity to compare between the Sahidic and the Syriac translations and the fragments of the Greek original (this will also be relevant for participants not working with Syriac). The PhD students will also get the opportunity to present and discuss their PhD projects.
