ViDSS Brownbag Sessions
The ViDSS Brownbag Sessions provide possibilities for meeting and learning from experienced colleagues, graduates and guests. Most sessions take place online in order to allow as many early career researchers as possible to participate.
Defending your thesis and handling transitions: learn from your peers
Wednesday, 7 May 2025, 11:30–13:00
Meet graduates from the doctoral programme in Social Sciences who have recently completed their doctoral studies. How was it for them at the end of this long “journey”? What best practices are there for the last steps of the writing process? How did they prepare for the public defence? How did they stay motivated and how did they navigate the transition (and where to)?
With:
- Ivan Josipovic, graduate in political science
- Sophie Mayen, graduate in communication
- Jana Mikats, graduate in sociology
Moderation: Roman Pfefferle
