IPP Research Skills Series
Winter and Summer Semesters
The IPP Workshop Series offers IPP and GCSC members the strategies for navigating core research skills. The aim of the workshop series is to create an interactive discussion in the format of a workshop to discuss topics ranging from mental health and research, publishing and research impact.IPP Writing Café & Work in Progress Series
The IPP invites all GCSC and IPP members to the Writing Café – an informal space where you can engage in a collective writing session. The aim of the Writing Café is to meet every once in two-three weeks to write continuously for four hours with short breaks in between.
Members are invited to use this space to work on their PhD chapters, colloquium materials, conference presentations, or paper publications – all while enjoying some morning tea, coffee, and perhaps a few snacks. You will also have the chance to discuss any writing queries directly with the IPP coordinator, who sits with you during this time. Additionally, we invite those of you who join the Writing Café to the Work-in-Progress Series where you can present your progress in front of your peers and the IPP coordinator.Although the Writing Café and the Work-in-Progress are two separate events, they are connected: You may thus present materials from your session in the Writing Café during the Work-in-Progress Series. While there is no compulsion to present, we highly encourage you to use this informal space as an opportunity to write, receive feedback, and perhaps use them as personal deadlines.IPP Workshop Series
Winter Semesters
The IPP Workshop Series offers IPP and GCSC members the opportunity to lead a workshop on current concepts and methods in the Study of culture. The aim of the workshop series is to create an interactive discussion group for doctoral candidates and students. The topics can range from general introductions to various "schools" of literary and cultural theory to concepts, methods and topics of literary and cultural theory. The series is realized every year during the Winter Semester.IPP 20th Anniversary Keynote Lecture Series: New Conjunctures and Directions in Literary and Cultural Studies
Summer Semester 2022
It has been 20 years since the International PhD Programme "Literary and Cultural Studies" (IPP), a pioneer in structured graduate education in Germany, was founded. In celebration of this occasion, the keynote lecture series "New Conjunctures and Directions in Literary and Cultural Studies" took place throughout the summer term with lectures on Wednesday afternoons (14:00), followed by coffee-and-cake receptions. The featured speakers are former coordinators of the IPP, all professors and postdocs working within Germany and internationally, who gave lectures on their current research projects.Conferences
Over the years, the IPP has organized conferences on multiple topics, which allowed the members of the programme and PhD candidates all over the world to present and improve their own research, as well as to learn from international professors who held keynotes on the current developments of cultural and literary studies. Additionally, the IPP works alongside the PhDnet 'Literary and Cultural Studies' organizing the closing conferences of this prestigious international programme.Masterclasses, Keynote Lectures & Workshops
The IPP organises masterclasses and workshops with renowned professors and researchers from around the world. They share their current research with our candidates and discuss contemporary developments in literary theory and history from different perspectives. Some masterclasses are organised as part of the defence of one of our candidates, creating synergies that benefit all members of the centre.
