3rd Linguistic
Conference for Doctoral Students: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Language, Discourse,
and Culture
Universität Heidelberg, April 5th and 6th, 2013
We cordially
invite you to the 3rd Linguistic
Conference for Doctoral Students (“Sprachwissenschaftliche Tagung für
Promotionsstudierende”, STaPs), which will be held on April 5th
and 6th, 2013 at Heidelberg
University. The overarching topic of the conference will be
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Language, Discourse, and Culture.
We warmly
invite doctoral students at all stages in their graduate work and of every
linguistic field and discipline to present their projects and to exchange ideas
and network with other doctoral students.
Additionally,
the 3rd STaPs is explicitly directed towards interested doctoral
students in all other areas of the humanities, social sciences, and cultural
sciences who would like to discuss the role of language, discourse, and culture
in their doctoral projects in an interdisciplinary setting.
The conference provides
doctoral students the opportunity to present specific aspects or current challenges
within their projects in problem-oriented talks that leave a substantial amount
of room for discussion. This allows students to discuss difficulties and
develop strategies to solve these problems in an informal and interdisciplinary
environment. In addition, the program will include interactive and
interdisciplinary workshops on methodological and general questions regarding
doctoral projects in the areas of language, discourse, and culture.
The 3rd StaPs
offers doctoral students the possibility to share their experiences with other
young researchers from a wide range of disciplines and receive feedback on
their work from peers. In contrast to other academic conferences, participants
do not need to present finished products. Instead, students can share and
discuss work in progress and challenges in their doctoral project in a
pressure-free environment.
Empirically-oriented
and theoretically-oriented projects are equally welcome. Moreover, we warmly
welcome participants who would like to exchange ideas and network with other
doctoral students, but do not wish to give a talk.
In order to
submit abstracts for talks (20 minute talk + 20 minute discussion) or workshops
(60 minutes) as well as register as a
participant, please send an email with the abstract attached to: staps.hd@gmail.com
The conference
languages are German and English.
Deadline for
Abstracts (German or English, max. 350 words): 15.02.2013
Deadline for
Conference Registration: 15.03.2013
