The relevant current program is listed in Microsoft Teams link to teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3aIZM-57XuYA2CG1VTsC2IGD6PdE35aEK5ymb16RXQ2vQ1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=62b94007-17a4-461b-8845-c386f375e853&tenantId=e09276da-f934-4086-bf08-8816a20414a2 The enrollment is done by computer script. Doctoral students do not enroll in the course themselves. The course usually starts later (after scripted enrollment). It is listed in the schedule as Historical-Sociological Confrontations (under this title you will find the room and time of the course). The seminar consists of two segments: 1) Presentations of doctoral projects, especially by first year students, and discussion of these projects (it is recommended that you invite your supervisor to present your own project). 2) Guest speakers. The selection of guests reflects the transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of historical sociology. The guest presentation usually lasts 50 minutes, followed by a methodological and substantive discussion of the paper presented. The purpose of the seminar is to lead PhD students to independent scientific research. The papers presented do not constitute a "tutorial", but are intended to show the diversity of approaches within the social and historical sciences. The seminar is usually conducted in English. For guests, the choice of language is a matter of their own decision. In agreement with the lecturer, it is possible, exceptionally, to present in Czech. The purpose of this measure is to integrate Czech and foreign PhD students. |

Course completion requirements: Participation in Doctoral Seminar I, II and Historical and Sociological Confrontations (YMH306 and YMH309) is compulsory for students in the 1st and 2nd year of full-time doctoral studies. 80% participation is a condition for attestation. In justified cases (internship, illness), the situation can be resolved by agreement with the lecturer. Excuses to the special Microsoft Teams channel. Lectures given in Czech are optional for foreign students. In addition, during the winter or summer semesters, 1st year students have to prepare short (about 30 minutes) presentations of their PhD projects. The presentation should be in powerpoint. Active participation in discussions is also assessed. The PhD student should demonstrate the ability to discuss issues that are not part of his/her PhD project. The purpose of this active participation in discussions is to practice the ability to argue rationally. Among other things, the degree of general overview, the degree to which the arguments are supported by facts, the logical coherence and the methodological anchorage of the argument are assessed. It is expected that the PhD student will demonstrate a skill called hedging ( Hedging is the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well as to demonstrate politeness and indirectness. https://www.enago.com/academy/hedging-in-academic-writing/).
