THE NEWSROOM is the regular OSL PhD event for the discussion of seminal theoretical texts, research in progress and recent developments in literary studies. Each session is curated by two PhD students with related research projects. They present their research and select a limited number of theoretical and secondary texts that they discuss with their fellow PhD students and a senior researcher in the field. THE NEWSROOM takes place five times in each academic year. It is based on the commitment of the participants to share their work, ideas, questions, expertise and inspiration within and beyond the scope of their own projects.
