Mastering the Art of Engaging and Convincing Chalk Talk (November 27, 2023)

Written by

Graphic representations are a great way to communicate complex research topics in an understandable and lively way. They convey clarity and provide a quick overview and are therefore extremely helpful both for the elaboration and the presentation of complex content and ideas. In this seminar you will learn best-practice techniques that you can use on various media such as paper, whiteboards or flipcharts. You will learn how to present complex issues in a structured way while reducing the amount of information to the essentials. 

After several short input sessions, you will have enough time to try out the techniques you have learned in individual and group exercises and to develop your own style. We will compare and analyze all graphics together so that you end up with an extensive knowledge about best-practice techniques and examples. The praxis-oriented workshop aims to develop your own creativity while having fun, so active participation is a prerequisite.

Academic Writing: Producing an Academic Paper in the Social Sciences and Humanities (November 16-17, 2023)

Written by

This workshop addresses junior scholars from the social sciences and the humanities who are currently working on an English-language article for publication or are planning to publish an article in an English-language journal in the future. The goal is to provide an understanding of the general structure and “choreography” of academic publications and hands-on assistance to participants who are writing their own papers.

The workshop will begin by discussing typical problems encountered when writing an academic publication and ways to facilitate the writing process. We will then address the typical organization of academic publications. This will involve having a detailed look at the basic components of an academic paper, what we need to pay attention to in each part, where to place which elements, and what tenses are typically used. Particular attention will be paid to the essential benefits of, and how to think about, developing a clear “storyline” and being clear on your “take-home message.”
