No course without formalities. We try to keep it simple and adaptable to your specific circumstances but we are required to demand a certain amount of work from you to be able to give you a certain amount of ECTS. Feedback from previous years indicates that the more you engage with the course, its readings, the other participants and the teachers, the more you will get out of the course.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Credit points (ECTS)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The course consists of lectures, group work, and plenary discussions. To ensure sufficient engagement with the course’s content, to enable peer-learning, and to encourage networking across disciplines **physical attendance** is mandatory and no digital alternatives for participation are provided. We are aware of the fact that PhD students are busy people and will in most cases grant shorter leaves of absence. In these cases, please contact Thomas Berker with a very brief description why you cannot participate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To pass the course, you need to attend the lectures, present a paper at the course conference, and deliver a course assignment text (see below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The deadline for the course assignment is August 31st, 2025.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- KULT8851 gives 10 credit points. A presentation at the course conference is mandatory in addition to a short conference paper (4000-5000 words).
|
||||||
|
- KULT8850 gives 7.5 credit points, which presupposes a presentation at the course conference and the handing in of an extended abstract (1000-2000 words).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Required readings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Required readings are described in the course program. All the literature is accessible online or is made available to the participants on this site. The readings that are marked as 'essential' literature must be read before the lectures. Please make sure to prepare some comments/questions.

The course provides an introduction to theories of science and relevant social science and humanities scholarship, with an emphasis on the history and philosophy of science and the social organization and dynamics of various academic fields, including their strategies for producing knowledge and the interaction between research and society.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The course engages with issues such as philosophical assumptions underlying high-quality scholarship, making claims about truth and objectivity, professional and societal relevance of science, navigation of academic challenges, and classic and contemporary critiques of science. To contribute to a better understanding of academic work, insights into the history of science and academic scholarship and the key features of the modern university are provided. Moreover, the course is one of the few arenas in which PhD students from a wide variety of disciplines meet and work together, which increases their interdisciplinary sensitivities.

1300-1500: Ståle Rainer Strøm Finke: The body as the locus of knowing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This session deals with two enabling factors within science and their impact on our understanding of science: The body and literacy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- What role does the body play in the production of scientific knowledge?
|
||||||
|
- How does the customary association between literacy and academic knowledge influence how we theorize about science?
|
||||||
|
- What if things were different – what can we learn from knowledge systems that incorporate the knowing body in more articulate ways than we usually do in the Western academic tradition, without any involvement of literacy?
