University of Helsinki
Papers
Each participant is expected to prepare and present a paper. The papers can be of different character such as theoretical and empirical case studies, theory discussions etc. It is a good idea to introduce your study, i.e. present the general topic for your thesis and your paper’s significance for your thesis and also emphasize the general theoretical and methodological questions that you work with. This will make it easier for the commentators and there will be less room for misunderstandings. The presentation should not take more than 15 minutes.
Paper deadline is 15 July 2013. Your paper should contain no more than 9 000 words. The paper should be in the form of *.pdf file and it should be send to me, heidi.haggren@helsinki.fi.
All papers will be available for downloading on the NordWel’s homepage before the start of the summer school.
