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.
