These workshops are designed to bring PhD candidates in conversation with more experienced scholars around research themes and methodologies in colonial history, African studies and environmental humanities. Each speaker will present one of their publications, and take the participants through their step-by-step research process. The workshops close with a collective Q&A. Discussed publications will be sent to the participants one week prior to the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registrations are opened until two weeks before each session\u2019s date. Sessions are limited to ten participants and will only take  place physically, as to allow optimal conditions for exchanges and discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
