Gradu­ate as­sem­blies of the Fac­ulty of Arts and Hu­man­it­ies

A primary goal of the Graduate Forum is to give the graduate students of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities a voice. The plenary meeting, which usually takes place once a semester, serves this purpose. All doctoral students and postdocs of the Faculty who are in a supervisory relationship with a member or in an employment relationship with UPB are invited to attend. At the beginning there is a public part in which all other UPB members and external guests can participate.


The plenary assembly aims to address current topics of graduate work, facilitate exchange and networking between graduate students and those responsible in the faculty (e.g. Dean, Chair of the Doctoral Committee, Graduate Centre) and thus promote a joint shaping of the framework conditions for academic work. In addition, the management team and the graduate representatives are elected once a year. All doctoral candidates and postdocs of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities are eligible to vote.


Graduates are encouraged to suggest topics for the plenary assembly. These and other concerns and questions can be sent by email to graduiertenforum-kw-team@lists.uni-paderborn.de.

14th Gradu­ate As­sembly

Cordial invitation to the Graduate Assembly!

 

The Graduate Assembly will take place on Tuesday, 24 June 2025 from 1 to 2 pm hybrid . The room will follow. A link for Zoom will be provided digitally.

During the Graduate Assembly, central information on graduate work at KW will be shared and opportunities for participation will be presented. The election of the graduate representation to the board of the Graduate Centre KW (GKW) centre. The Graduate Representatives consist of two people who are sent to the GKW Board as permanent advisory guests. The Graduate Representatives have the task of representing the concerns and interests of doctoral students and postdocs of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities vis-à-vis the GKW Board. In other words, the Graduate Representatives see themselves as an interface between the GKW and the GFKW. The exchange between the Graduate Representation and the GFKW is central to this, for example by reporting on processes, results and developments from the work of the GKW Board. The term of office of the guests is one year. The election will take place digitally, so please bring a suitable device if you wish to attend the event in person.

In addition, the two graduate spokespersons will be newly elected. The graduate spokespersons organise the work processes within the team, represent the GFKW externally in consultation with the team and are responsible for the flow of information and mail traffic. Both spokespersons are elected for one year at the Graduate Assembly.

This year's guests will be the Dean of the KW, Prof Dr Dr Oliver Reis, and the Vice Dean for Sustainability, Gender Equality and Diversity, Dr Larissa Eikermann. They will be available to answer selected questions from graduates of the faculty.

The official invitation, including the agenda and Zoom link, will be sent out two weeks before the event.

If you would like to add items to the agenda yourself, have questions or comments about the positions to be filled or would like to run for one of the positions, please contact us by email.

On 6 November 2018, the second doctoral candidates' meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities took place. Once again, a large number of doctoral candidates attended, so that the number of participants was again over 50. Invited guests included the Dean of Research, Prof Dr Peckhaus, the Chair of the Doctoral Committee, Prof Dr Buhl, the Dean of Research, Prof Dr Becher, Julian Decius as a representative of the mid-level faculty and Gerd Richter from the Academic Staff Council, who all attended.

After a general round of introductions, which was intended above all to make functionaries visible as contact persons, current concerns from the various fields were addressed.

For example, Ms Buhl reported on the planned change to the doctoral regulations, while Mr Decius spoke about further work on proposed solutions for conflicts during the doctoral period.

Other topics discussed at the meeting were

  • Clearing concepts for conflict cases (including from the GFKW itself)
  • Offers for doctoral candidates (including the doctoral candidate counselling service, which was installed in the Dean's Office)
  • Disagreements about examination forms within the scope of the disputatio*

There was also the opportunity to express suggestions and wishes as well as criticism and suggestions for improvement. The third doctoral candidates' meeting will take up and concretise points that have already been discussed. We are delighted that the President, Prof Dr Birgitt Riegraf, will be present this time!

*In the meantime, this has resulted in the revision of the supervision agreement, which Ms Buhl drew up following the meeting.

On 29 May 2018, the first doctoral candidates' meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities took place at the invitation of the Graduate Forum. Together with the Dean, Prof Dr Volker Peckhaus, the then Chair of the Doctoral Committee, Prof Dr Jörn Steigerwald, and Stefanie Orlovic-Koru, who is responsible for doctoral matters in the Dean's Office, the 53 doctoral candidates from the faculty who attended were able to ask important questions about the doctorate. There was also the opportunity to express suggestions and wishes as well as criticism and suggestions for improvement. Among other things, the following were discussed

- Terms of the Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act (WissZeitVG)

- Definitions relating to doctorates (start/end)

- Clearing centre in cases of conflict

- Enrolment in the doctoral degree programme

- Continuing education programmes
