Fields of study

Comment/Description

In addition to academic expertise, it becomes increasingly important to acquire practical skills such as project management and event planning in order to prepare for future employment. This project course provides students with the opportunity of conceptualising, planning and hosting an academic conference at the Department of English and American studies at Halle University.

During our monthly meetings, students will learn all about the requirements, challenges and excitements of organizing an academic event: conference formats, writing a “call for papers” and selecting talks, public relations & funding, moderating conference panels and discussions as well as catering.

We are looking to host the second Gradumeeting at the Department of English and American Studies at Halle-University in April 2015. The first Gradumeeting took place in April this year. It provided graduate students with the opportunity to present their degree theses to an audience, and encourage critical discussions about their topics, their methods, and the challenge of writing their papers. The conference was a great success and encouraged a dialogue between students of all levels as well as lecturers of the department.

Students will receive an individual reference letter which can be beneficial to future job and scholarship applications.
