The Shared Interdisciplinary Theory is a core course of the doctoral program, characterized by the regular interaction of students from multiple years. The course is based on the premise that students entering the doctoral program in the arts come with individually varied knowledge of theories from their previous studies. Therefore, the specific program for each semester is updated and largely tailored to the current composition of the cohorts and the needs of the students, based on the focus of their individual dissertations. In the first and second iterations of the course, students are expected to actively participate in seminars and engage in discussions on selected texts and topics, which they do not choose themselves at this stage. In the third and fourth iterations, students take on the role of co-creators of the seminar content by selecting a text for analysis in one of the seminars. The seminars involve facilitated discussions aimed at the comprehensive analysis of pre-selected texts. The texts for each seminar are chosen (in consultation with the course instructor) by students from the later years of the program. At the beginning of the seminar, students explain how the chosen text relates to the theoretical framework of their dissertation. In the subsequent discussion, the instructor considers the broader knowledge of the currently addressed dissertation topics and emphasizes the broader connections and implications of the selected text beyond its relation to the dissertation of the student who selected it.
