In 2024, the Cardiff Science/Humanities group partners with the Fiction
Meets Science Program and Bremen Blue Humanities Research Group to host
the Summer School at their home base in Germany. The theme for 2024 is
the “Blue Humanities.”
The Science/Humanities Summer School features a week of workshops with
leading scholars who have trained in a diverse array of
disciplines—literature, history, philosophy, sociology, environmental
science—and are doing research at the cross-section of the humanities
and sciences. Students have the opportunity to engage with experienced
researchers and a select cohort of peers from around the world,
attending workshops on current research topics and career issues
(publishing, professional network-building, etc.). Anna-Katharina
Hornidge (Bonn)will give the keynote address. Other speakers include
Steve Mentz (New York) and Kerstin Knopf (Bremen).
In addition, you will have the opportunity to share ideas, concepts and
methods with other doctoral students and begin to build a network of
global contacts. The Summer School also incorporates a cultural
programme focussed on the rich heritage of Bremen and the region.
The Summer School is open _only to doctoral students located in
universities and research centres worldwide. There are only 12 places
available.
It is free to attend, but participants must be able to meet the cost of
their own transport, accommodation and part of their subsistence during
their stay at the HWK Institute for Advanced Study
(Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg <https://hanse-ias.de/>), Delmenhorst. Advice
will be given on accommodation and transport and meals will be included
during the Summer School.
Two bursaries of £400 are available for students from nations with
limited resources.
