Master Classes [MC]

Master classes offer students the opportunity to discuss themes relevant to contemporary cultural studies research, as well as to their own PhD projects, with established and distinguished academics from Germany and abroad.

Keynote Lectures [KL]

Held by established and (internationally) distinguished academics and GCSC-Fellows, keynote lectures are a central feature of the GCSC core curriculum. They address key concepts and theories in the study of culture, present cutting-edge research in the field, and are geared to the main research areas of the GCSC.

Research Workshops [WS]

Led by qualified postdoctoral students or professors, research workshops offer an overview of current themes, theories and methods in the study of culture in order to involve doctoral students at the GCSC in the discussion of contemporary research and to further the conceptual development of the GCSC’s research profile.

Practical Courses [PK]

So each semester, the GCSC offers courses on academic writing, conference presentations skills, computer skills, as well as on project and time management.
