PRESENTATION OF THE RESEARCHER IN EVERYDAY LIFE
What
A seminar based on
a discussion on how we present ourselves as researchers. In times of true and
fake facts, the roles we take on when presenting and representing research and
the research community is important. Sometimes we know what we are addressing and
sometimes we are expected to, as researchers, shed light on issues, we have
little or very little knowledge about. So, how do we take on this role of
representing research. And, what challenges does this pose for PhD candidates.
In addition
to Goffman’s own texts (recommended) an interesting read is:
