Organizing team
We are Tallinn University Faculty of Humanities PhD students. The PhD journey can be lonely and challenging, yet it’s not a unique or solitary experience—many of its aspects are shared in different ways by others. For us, discovering the value of sharing perspectives has been pivotal in building our PhD community, which has proven both academically enriching and has made the journey more enjoyable. By organizing this conference and inviting colleagues to join, we hope to extend this shared experience and community spirit, fostering a network that supports a fulfilling and rewarding career path for all involved.
