Dear All, The Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy is launching a new initiative: The Feedback Foyer Peer Feedback for written or oral Work-in-Progress Date: 10 November 2025 Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Venue: Room 3A NiG The Feedback Foyer aims to foster a culture of peer feedback among early career researchers. It is open to PhD researchers and Advanced Master’s students in Philosophy. The idea is simple: participants can bring a piece of work in progress—written or oral—and receive feedback from peers. In turn, they’ll also offer feedback to others. It’s a chance to the clarity of their ideas, sharpen arguments, and exchange views in an informal setting. Participants Can Expect To: - Learn and practice how to give constructive feedback - Receive input on your text, presentation, or idea - Try out philosophical arguments in front of a friendly audience Note: The Feedback Foyer does not replace expert supervision. Instead, it gives participants the chance to hear how their work comes across to a wider audience of fellow researchers. Workshop Structure Written Text Feedback 30 min: preparing feedback in small groups 15 min: discussing comments with peers Presentation/Brainstorming Feedback 10 min: individual presentations 15 min: oral peer feedback (Structure may vary depending on the number of participants.)
