Prof Wendy Sigle

This course is compulsory on the MPhil/PhD in Gender. This course is not available as an outside option.

The aim of this course is to give students experience and practice in presenting chapters or papers related to their current research for critical discussion. The focus of the seminar is on the research process and students are expected to present at least once per year. Some sessions may be used for professional training or personal development/well-being.

Weekly 2.0 hour seminars held  in the MT, LT and ST. First year students must also audit GI424 Gender Theories in the Modern World (seminars with permission) and GI402 Gender, Knowledge and Research Practice (full participation in course). All students are expected to participate in courses run by the Department of Methodology, 杏吧论坛 Gender or within the School as advised by their supervisors. Students are also expected to participate in research seminars and public lectures.  GI500 is team taught by faculty across the department.

PhD chapters and articles suggested by students relevant to their topic.

No summative assessment, but attendance and participation is considered part of the overall formal assessment of progress, including upgrade at the end of the first year and annually thereafter.  Students are normally expected to attend GI500 until the end of their third year.

Students should refer to the PhD handbook for advice on milestones.
