is happy to invite you to its
PhD Conference
on November 13/14, 2008
The aims of the conference:
The PhD Conference forms part of the programme series “Magyar Tudomány Ünnepe 2008” (Hungarian Science Festival 2008) organized by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It aims to survey and encourage the scholarly research activities conducted currently within the five PhD programmes of the School of English and American Studies, with special emphasis on the most prevailing theories and methods applied within the fields of English and American literature, history, linguistics, applied linguistics, and language pedagogy. The conference is intended to familiarize students, colleagues, and fellow researchers with outstanding work in our PhD programmes and demonstrate the ways in which students and their tutors work together in research projects. We are expecting the application of PhD students who have not yet defended their dissertation. The language of the conference will be English, and we are also planning to publish the papers presented.
