PhD fellows who wish to take a PhD degree must carry out a mid-term evaluation when they are about halfway into their PhD project.
PhD Dissertation
This dissertation explores the extent to which quality in social studies teaching is understood as democratic deliberation as well as the extent to which teaching in Danish and Norwegian social studies classrooms is characterized by aspects of democratic deliberation.
Supervisors:
- Torben Spanget Christensen, University of Southern Denmark
- Anders Stig Christensen, UCL University College Denmark
- Nora Elise Hesby Mathé, University of Oslo
Discussants:
- Malin Tväråna, Stockholm University
- Ane Qvortrup, University of Southern Denmark
Chair: Torben Spanget Christensen, University of Southern Denmark
The purpose of the mid-term evaluation is to check whether the candidate is en route to achieving the PhD education’s expected learning outcomes. In addition, the committee should along with the principal supervisor and candidate assess the overall feasibility of the project leading up to a PhD degree and, if necessary, suggest possible changes in the candidate’s progress plan.
