Research Schools in History organise Career Day 2023 |
|
|
|
N.W. Posthumus Institute, the Huizinga Institute, the Research School Political History and the Research School for Medieval Studies jointly organise the PhD Career Day 2023 for their PhD students. This day offers the PhDs an interesting day programme, with speakers from various sectors in society, who will shed their light on the options in ‘life after promotion’. Many of them are alumnus of one of the research schools involved and therefore know from their own experience which chances, choices and complications you might be facing as future or recently promoted PhD. |

Studiemiddag 'De verhulde rol van vrouwen in bedrijfsgeschiedenis' (Universiteit Utrecht, 1 december 2023)
|
|
~ because of scope, only in Dutch ~ Op vrijdag 1 december organiseert de Stichting Bedrijfsgeschiedenis de studiemiddag ‘De verhulde rol van vrouwen in bedrijfsgeschiedenis’. In de bedrijfsgeschiedenis wordt nauwelijks aandacht besteed aan de rol van vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven. Deze middag wordt juist aandacht besteed aan de vragen: hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat de vaak verhulde rol van vrouwen in bedrijfsgeschiedenis meer aan het licht komt, en zijn er gemene delers als we het dan over die rol van vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven hebben? Tijdens de middag presenteren Selin Dilli (universitair docent en Posthumus-fellow), Joke Mooij (voormalig bedrijfshistoricus van Rabobank, nu zelfstandig historica) en Claudia Hacke (Posthumus promovenda) hun onderzoeksresultaten. Aanmeldingen per mail via Joep Schenk, secretaris van de Stichting Bedrijfsgeschiedenis. |
