This seminar will be split into two main topic blocks. Every student will be assigned a research paper from only one of these blocks to work on. Yet, it is expected that students also actively participate in discussion on papers from the other topic blocks after they have been presented.
When applying for this seminar, please indicate whether you would be interested in only one or both topic blocks. The exact research articles that are to be worked on will be determined once we have an overview over the number of participants and their rough preferences.
The two topics we discuss this semester are the following:
