The think tank is a course that lets you explore a societal issue related to literature on behalf of a company or institution, such as a museum, publisher, literary festival, schools, talent development programme, research groups or library. The societal issues can be related, e.g., to the way in which contemporary literary ecosystems will be able to adjust (better) to both existing and new types of authorship and readership, as well as to new (e.g. digital or cross-media) forms of literary art; to the values and (regional, national or international) roles of literary creators, including translators, artistic directors and curators; to the position of the publishing industry in the current chains of literary production and distribution; to the reflection upon the impact of the book on social, economic and personal life.
About the think tank
In this course you will work in interdisciplinary groups, supervised by a lecturer. The approach is similar to how project-based research is conducted in society. In the think tank, you will use the knowledge and skills you have gained in your studies and the other courses of the minor and will expand these further by learning from each other while working on the project. This will enable you to develop competencies for your professional future.
The combination of research, reflection, and practice is the key element of the think tank.
Are you considering an individual (research) internship instead of a think tank? Please make sure to take all the actions necessary on time (e.g. submit your request to the examination board by December 15). More information can be found in the minor guide.
