Network to host first PhD workshop
The London Political Economy Network (LPEN) is set to hold its first PhD student workshop.
The workshop, taking place virtually on 18 June, will offer PhD students the opportunity to present a draft chapter from their dissertations and receive feedback from experienced researchers and other PhD students.
The LPEN is inviting submissions from PhD students in their second or third year who are enrolled in any of the member institutions of LPEN. The topic should be broadly related to political economy. Submissions can be a chapter from a PhD dissertation that may be a work-in-progress but must have a complete structure.
Dr Karsten Kohler, from the LPEN, said: “We are looking for chapters that contain your original work rather than a literature review. Chapters should be preceded by an abstract of 150-250 words and indicate the institution/programme you are enrolled in and the name of your supervisors.”
Please direct any questions to karsten.kohler@kcl.ac.uk.
