The Roskilde University International Doctoral Summer School at the Department of People and Technology offers dynamic doctoral training based on critical reflection and interactive forms of learning. Our significant focus is a continuous interest in methods and methodology and how basic questions of ontology and epistemology relate to the formulation of research questions, choice of theory and concepts, strategy of analyses, and presentation of (empirical) findings.

The ambition of the course is to foster participant’s critical reflections on methods, methodology, and how these choices inform analysis, representations, and texts. Such activities might include questions of how issues like e.g. societal and professional discourses and practices frame and form qualitative research. The Summer School also addresses and stimulates discussion of the role of researchers and their engagement in issues of societal importance – and how this might influence your research.
