Graduate Seminar:
The NICA Graduate Seminar will run alongside the lecture series. The purpose of this seminar is to provide graduate students with some of the background to the topics to be discussed by our invited speakers and their connection with phenomenology. The seminar will take place once a month. In June we will organize a small graduate workshop where participants in the seminar will make group presentations. The course can be studied for 6EC credit, and will be assessed based on an essay to be submitted August 2014. If you would like to sign up for this seminar please email me at j.d.kiverstein@uva.nl.
