PhD Cursussen 2025

Veel promovendi in de criminologie werken op de grens van verschillende disciplines: sociale wetenschappen, geesteswetenschappen en zelfs natuurwetenschappen. Over verschillende instellingen heen hebben ze gemeenschappelijke behoeften en interesses. Door de krachten te bundelen, verbreden we hun opleidingsmogelijkheden. Daarom organiseren de criminologieafdelingen van de Universiteit Leiden, de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, de Erasmus Universiteit, de Universiteit Utrecht en het NSCR vanaf 2024 op maat gemaakte PhD-cursussen voor toekomstige criminologen. Ons aanvullende doel is om de community van promovendi te versterken.

In 2025 bieden we de volgende cursussen aan:

Publishing Landscape in Criminology

Professional Development Workshop

Jean McGloin
Professor, University of Maryland
Former Editor at Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency

This workshop will focus on critical aspects of peer review publishing [1], hoping to reduce the vagueness, mystery, and rumors that often plague this process. Importantly, this will be a confidential space where students should feel comfortable asking direct questions, with the expectation that Professor McGloin will offer her honest opinions and experiences both as an author and editor.

The workshop will contain 2 meetings (of 2-3 hours) in April 2025. The sessions will be informal and aim to support discussion that is directly relevant to PhD students. No preparation is needed.

Session Topics:

1. Benefits of Peer Review Publishing, Publishing Philosophies, Preparing Manuscripts; Becoming an Effective Reviewer
2. How to Handle and Respond to Rejections and Revise & Resubmits

When?

• Tue April 8^th 2025 – 14:00-17:00
• Tue April 15^th 2025 – 14:30-16:30 with drinks afterward

Where?

The workshops will be held at NSCR (VU campus Amsterdam, Initium building).

These sessions are designed to be in-person to facilitate interaction and engagement. However, if attending in person is absolutely not possible for you, online participation may be considered in exceptional cases. Please contact the organizers at phdcouncil@nscr.nl to discuss your situation.
