Now Open for Applications: Summer Course in Narrative Studies at/by Aarhus University

The Summer Course in Narrative Study (SINS) is a six days intensive program that brings together PhD-students, doctoral students, faculty members and internationally leading scholars in a multi-disciplinary, international discussion of existing and emerging concepts and approaches in the broad field of narrative study. In a combination of lectures by the invited key notes, project presentations, and reading sessions, the course aims to instigate and stimulate productive dialogue on ongoing narrative research and to offer participants an outstanding opportunity to discuss and get feedback on their own projects.

The course takes place from July 29- August 3, 2018, at Sandbjerg Estate, Denmark. Invited scholars and work shop leaders of this year are Mieke Bal, Jan Christoph Meister, Jason Mittell, and Anna De Fina. 

The institute welcomes scholars working with any and all type of narrative form or function, be that verbal or non-verbal, fictive or non-fictive, spontaneous or artificial, and invites leading key researchers from fields such as postclassical narratology, narrative inquiry, rhetorical narrative theory, storytelling, cognitive narrative theory and transmedial approaches.

Deadline for applications is April 25, 2018.
