This seminar series offers PhD students a space to meet and share their work—such as work-in-progress articles, thesis chapters, or projects—throughout the academic year. Each presenter should send their materials at least one week in advance to allow time for feedback from a designated discussant.

Each session will last 90 minutes: 40 minutes for the presentation, 10 minutes for the discussant’s comments, and the remaining time for open discussion.

The seminar will be held in a hybrid format; however, we strongly encourage those based in Lisbon to attend in person in order to foster engagement and ensure the success of the series.

The seminar may be conducted in English (preferably, to enable colleagues outside Portugal to participate) or in Portuguese.

Organised by Daniela Bevilacqua, Giacomo Montavan and Vera Lazzaretti.
