What is project groupwork?
We have invited a number of guests to play the role of
‘wayfinders’ or 'midwives'. Their job is to provide a range of resources
for learning: to give lectures, to hold workshops, to promote discussion
and reflection, to clarify methods, and to illustrate analysis.
Following the first two days of keynote lectures and workshops by the
invited guests, which will establish a common framework, group project
work will begin.
Each project group will work on a set of problems that
are to be decided by the groups themselves, which may or may not be
derived from the lectures and workshops on the first two days.
Furthermore, the wayfinders are assigned to work with a specific
thematic group on each of days 3, 4 and 5. We trust that the pairings of wayfinders from different disciplinary backgrounds generates novel ideas
and fruitful challenges that benefit the problem-based learning. The
afternoon of day 4 is free. Optional activities for the guests and
participants will be arranged. On the last day, all groups come together
to report on their findings, solutions and applications, with commentary
and discussion from the wayfinders.
The poster session on the first day
is for those who wish to present their research publicly.
Lectures
Each guest will give a one hour lecture on their
research as it concerns the themes of the summer school.
Workshops
Each guest will give a two hour
workshop. To facilitate interdisciplinary and dialogue the
workshops by each guest will be responded to by one
other guest and a member of the collective.
Recommended readings
for each guest are online, as well as a
general bibliography
relevant to the themes of summer school
Here is a schematic diagram of the relationship
between the lectures and the workshops, as well as who leads the
lecture/workshop and who will act as respondent and facilitator for each
workshop.

The summer school will run daily
from early in the morning to late in the afternoon (Monday to Friday)
and to 16:00 on Saturday. The precise schedule may be altered. Unless
otherwise stated, coffee/tea, lunches and reception drinks on Monday
plus evening dinner on Thursday are included in the registration fee.
All activities will take place in four seminar rooms (2.126, 2.128, 2.130, 2.132)
in Kroghstræde 3. These rooms will be locked in all
breaks and lunch periods.
