The dissertation colloquium is a non-credit course open to MESAAS doctoral students who have completed the M.Phil. degree. It provides a forum in which the entire community of dissertation writers meets, bridging the department's different fields and regions of research. It complements workshops outside the department focused on one area or theme. Through an encounter with the diversity of research underway in MESAAS, participants learn to engage with work anchored in different regions and disciplines and discover or develop what is common in the department's post-disciplinary methods of inquiry. Since the community is relatively small, it is expected that all post-M.Phil. students in residence will join the colloquium. Post M.Phil. students from other departments may request permission to join the colloquium, but places for non-MESAAS students will be limited. The colloquium convenes every semester, meeting once every two weeks. Each meeting is devoted to the discussion of one or two pre-circulated pieces of work (a draft prospectus or dissertation chapter). Every participant contributes at least one piece of work each year.
Open only to Ph.D. candidates in the pharmacological sciences training program. A study of current topics of interest in pharmacology and related fields. Students are required to present materials for discussion.
This course will consider ancient Roman Literature, from the Republican period to late antiquity, as an evidentiary base for the study of the ancient book. This course is intended to expose students to the main body of evidence for the object and uses of the Roman book, which is crucial to any understanding of ancient literature qua literature. Students will become familiar with a wide body of evidence, and encounter a diverse range of texts. Students will also become conversant in important and current scholarly and methodological debates about the materiality of literature, and the nature of the book and literacy in antiquity, and the place of material studies in Classics. Students will undertake an independent research paper which they will present to the classmates at the end of the semester.
