[Olga Zabalueva]

Hi everyone,
FYI
Tema G at Linköping university suggests the following PhD course next Spring term (see the attached course info):


TITLE: Writing the PhD – genre, form and evaluation

POINTS: 5

WHEN: week 17, VT 2022

COURSE DIRECTOR: Ericka Johnson, Tema Genus

LANGUAGE: English

Please email expressions of interest to ericka.johnson at liu.se<mailto:ericka.johnson at liu.se>

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will discuss how PhD dissertations are written, shaped by formal requirements and local practices, and how they are evaluated. We will explore the PhD dissertation as a genre, asking what elements are incorporated in its production and discussing how these can be flexible. During the course, students will read a how-to book on writing a dissertation, as well as 3 different examples of PhD dissertations to get a feel for the variations that the genre can contain. We will also study the production steps outlined in the Tema PhD student handbooks and read an example of a Tema PhD dissertation at the 60% seminar, 90% seminar and the published final version. Finally, the course will invite professors to come and speak about recent PhD dissertations they have evaluated, giving insight into how a PhD is “graded” or evaluated.
