some of our Doctoral Students and Research Fellows, 2008
Within the Cluster of Excellence, the Graduate School for Religion and Politics has been established to enhance the intellectual exchange between doctoral and research scholars and to strengthen the nexus between research and teaching. The inaugrual cohort of 20 doctoral students began their studies in the Graduate School in the 2008/09 acedemic year.
The Graduate School bridges the gap between different disciplines with a short, structured yet flexible programme. Through master classes, seminars, workshops, and small group mentoring the programme encourages an interdisciplinary perspective and encompasses the Cluster’s four main themes– normativity, staging, integrative procedures, and violence. Our doctoral students are encouraged to combine their own research with new interdisciplinary approaches whilst honing their skills within their own disciplines.
Six Research Fellows, each with their own research projects, are responsible for the programme within the Graduate School. They serve as mentors for the doctoral students, and also provide further research perspectives in small mentoring and supervision groups. The programme is enhanced by our administrative team dedicated to the organisational and administrative tasks of the Graduate School.
