| Content | This doctoral course brings together researchers across disciplines and career stages to build peer networks, democratize knowledge production, and develop transferable skills. The workshop group meets seven times (1.5 hours each) with three core goals: fostering peer community and expanding more-than-academic networks engaging in inter- and transdisciplinary exchanges and democratizing knowledge building transferable skills for diverse projects and career paths Participants share work in progress at different stages and in various formats (text, sound, visuals, etc). Through collaborative feedback, we exchange insights on conferences, funding, publishing, research collaboration, and knowledge dissemination. A central focus lies on developing fieldwork competencies and communication strategies: we explore qualitative-quantitative integration, ethnographic approaches, science communication and storytelling, and multimodal research presentation. Research interests span diverse spatial, social, and cultural contexts – including urban environments, migration, activism, cultural practices, power dynamics, and intersectional perspectives – across fields such as Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Gender Studies, Area Studies, Media Studies, Geography, Urban Studies, Architecture, History, Political Science, Sociology, and others. We bring together doctoral candidates from the University of Basel and the University of Applied Sciences, Academy of Art and Design Basel. |
