27-28 April 2015
A two-day event co-organised by Åbo Akademi and the University of Helsinki.
The focus of the event is methodological, and its approach is practical. What methods are available for legal research (doctrinal, socio-legal, historical, comparative, etc.)? What method does the research question of your thesis imply? What options do you have? What are the relative strengths and weaknesses of the options you have?
The event is tailored for 15-20
postgraduate research students, and it includes plenary sessions addressing
general questions, targeted working groups with leading experts representing
different approaches, collaborative work in student groups, as well as pop-up
clinics allowing for short face-to-face consultations with senior colleagues.
The event will conclude with instructions for a written assignment, to be
submitted online at a later date, that is intended to serve you as a draft for
the methodological section of your thesis. Participation in the two-day
event, including completion of the written assignment, will give you 4 ECTS
credits that you can use against the research training requirements at
your home institution (e.g. module code 20600 at the University of Helsinki).
Please consult the appropriate staff members at your institution for details.
For more information, please contact Professor Elina Pirjatanniemi (elina.pirjatanniemi@abo.fi) or Professor Panu Minkkinen (panu.minkkinen@helsinki.fi).
