Intention
The interest in analysing circuses as objects of academic research is growing worldwide. The number of doctoral and post-doctoral students is also steadily increasing. However, they are usually affiliated with institutions at many different universities around the world, so their immediate colleagues often research topics outside the circus.
As exciting and stimulating it is to work in a young research area, as specific are the challenges that young circus researchers face, be it with regard to the positioning of the own research within the respective discipline, the linking of theory and practice, the procurement of research material, publication strategies or the search for suitable supervisors and mentors.
The aim of the Young Researcher Network in Circus Studies is to offer young circus researchers a platform for dynamic exchange.
Regular virtual meetings focus on the following aspects:
- Peer Exchange
- Peer Mentoring
- Routine
- Coaching
- Equal Opportunities Support
- PhD Training
