WiSe 19/20: English Journal Club – Roman Art and Archaeology

Monika Trümper

Comments

English matters – not only in daily life (from entertainment to business), but also in academic life. International conferences are mostly held in English. Scholars of many non-Anglophone countries publish increasingly or even exclusively in English (e.g. Albania, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey). Many international students and visiting scholars come to Berlin who do not speak German fluently or at all. Good knowledge of English has become indispensable, not only for reading scholarly literature, but also for oral communication and academic publishing. In order to better prepare students for their future careers, this seminar will be held exclusively in English. It is meant for all students, level of English notwithstanding. If your English is not yet perfect, do not stay away – on the contrary, come and improve your academic English skills. The journal club is a format commonly used in the natural sciences. Scholars meet regularly and critically evaluate recent, particularly innovative and important publications in academic literature. We will discuss recent publications in the field of Roman Art and Archaeology, if possible related to guest lectures given in the archaeological colloquium on Monday evening. Thus, students will get an excellent overview of current discourses, approaches, and methods in the field, which may help them to better define their own research interests and develop ideas for future research (MA thesis, dissertation). Writing requirements will include formats that are also important in modern academia: analytical minutes of lectures; abstracts; responses; and reviews. close
