The purpose of the seminar to help you towards the development and refinement of your individual project by: 1) critically reflecting on the literature and drawing theoretical inspiration from it 2) exchanging ideas on how to operationalise the insights gained from both literatures (your selected additional paper and the assigned literature)

First part: presentations and discussions in small groups in which each of you will briefly present your selected additional paper (30 minutes). In addition to your presentation, you should explain in which ways your selected reading relate to the assigned literature. Possible starting questions are: What do the paper talk about? What perspective do they add to what we already know (e.g. something that was missing in the assigned literature)?

Second part: discussions in small groups where you will explain how the additional paper you have presented will be useful for your individual project (20 minutes). Possible starting questions are: Why did I choose this paper? What I am going to do with it in practice? How am I going to combine them with the assigned literature? What will be the possible challenges in doing that?

Final part: collective wrap-up . What was the most interesting point that emerged in your discussion? Any questions you would like to raise?
