Inclusion and diversity. Fundamental questions to be asked at Ph.D.-level er ett av doktorgradskursene i WNGER II.
WNGER II er en satsning på forskerutdanning på Vestlandet hvor man ønsker å skape en best mulig doktorgradsutdanning for våre doktorgradskandidater. Forskerskolen skal være et godt supplement til de eksisterende ph.d-programmene på Vestlandet og derfor vil forskerskolen legge opp til at stipendiater tar de doktorgradskursene som passer deres progresjon og ønsker.
