This seminar has a dual goal. First of all, it invites PhD candidates to reflect on the links between their research project, their research methodologies, and current affairs. Students are asked to rethink the relevance and the methodologies of their project from the perspective of current social and political concerns. What is the \u2018big question\u2019 that you are trying to respond to? Second, in interaction with people working in the sphere of policy-making, heritage, the press and think tanks candidates reflect on how they can develop methods of \u2018applied history\u2019, how their research can be considered \u2018usable history\u2019 for others outside academia, and\/or how they may present their academic skills and knowledge to the world beyond academia, also with an eye towards their post-PhD-career.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisors of and speakers at this seminar will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ru.nl\/en\/people\/kaal-h\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Harm Kaal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/research.rug.nl\/en\/persons\/stefan-couperus\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Stefan Couperus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uu.nl\/staff\/BAdeGraaf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Professor Beatrice de Graaf<\/a>.
