Colloquium for doctoral students
Romani Studies at Södertörn University is organising an international colloquium for doctoral students who have a research interest in critical Romska studies including research on antiziganism. Discussions will be led by Jan Selling, associate professor and senior lecturer in Romani Studies.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet online on several occasions to discuss ongoing and planned research, articles, drafts and other ideas. It is also a chance to exchange thoughts. Ideas and experiences with other researchers in the same. Our colloquium can be regarded as a complement to the supervision and seminars you already benefit from in your doctoral education.
Jan Selling’s research areas are Roma history, the history of Roma liberation, historical injustice and critical theory and antiziganism. The plan is for the first meetings to be held in mid-June. Please contact Jan Selling for more information.
