The colloquium is offered as a one-day research conference on 27 July 2015. It offers writers of theses and dissertations a forum for presentation of their work-in-progress in the form of poster presentations and short talks. It also provides future candidates for the oral exams with information about examination procedure and content. During the conference we will also discuss general issues related to theses, the current research context, and explore possible publication and employment opportunities in the field of linguistics. All exam candidates are encouraged to participate, whether they write their thesis in linguistics or not. In addition, student who are thinking about taking their oral exam with me , those students with an interest in ongoing research, and those who are thinking about writing their thesis in linguistics are also welcome to attend. In order to have the colloquium recognized as a module, you will have to participate in the research conference with a 15-20-minute research talk or a poster presentation (only if you are writing your thesis in linguistics; otherwise just the participation is required. Exam candidates can also use this opportunity to do a mock exam. There may also be additional talks by faculty members and guest lectures during the semester – those will be announced separately. |
