3) Online Teaching Workshop: Challenges in Times of COVID-19 July 1st, 9-10am CEST
The Teaching Group of the IMISCOE PhD Network coordinated by Dorina Dedgjoni has organised a workshop for the discussion of the opportunities and challenges facing PhD candidates who also teach in universities. It is becoming increasingly common for PhD students to teach undergraduate seminars on top of undertaking research – a task that is not always easy to manage. Moreover, PhDs teaching in the area of migration and integration are facing ever greater challenges, as they deal with emotionally charged and highly politicized topics, particularly in the context of refugee and migrant crisis management in Europe. The workshop will look at these challenges in light of the changes brought about by COVID-19 pandemic.
