As for the contact with the experts: the best way of establishing it is going to congresses and conferences, meeting them there, talking to them. Don't worry, people are generally very accesible, especially if you have read their books and you are willing to talk about them :-) There are lot of revisionists at the EHESS, but the way lectures are given there generally enable you to avoid them ;-)
I'll just have to work up the courage to actually approach them then. -__-;; I figured as much. Still the idea of being in such close proximity to them kind of freaks me out. >.>
DOn't worry, if you present a good paper, they may even come to speak with you themselves ;-) Moreover, there are official diners and other activities, so try not to get seated next to a revisionist and everything with be ok. Well, as for the EHESS, if you decide to follow a very particular Ph.D course, you might be even obliged to pick one or two courses given by such guys (as there won't be enough choice). But then, the advantages are great, too. The most important issue is the choice of the tutor. The courses are over soon, the dissertation is not...
Ooh, now I'm really nervous. XD; No, I'm sure everything will be fine. (Well, as long as I manage to stay away from the revisionists. ;)) For graduate studies it will probably make more sense for me to try to study at the IHRF if possible, but I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. And I would definitely never choose a revisionist to supervise my thesis. I'm not that masochistic. XD;;
I am sure you'll do very well (and choose a suitable person to supervise you). I'd be great if you could do the Ph.D. at the IHRF, I did not know it was officially possible.
Yes, that was what I thought. That the PhD is in the framework of another, broader institution. Great. Moreover, as you said CUPA does not include that university, it will benefit you not to have the licence and the Ph.D at the same university. It will give you points for scholarships.
It's the so-called "mobility". It means that in order to prevent academic endogamy, students are encouraged to move and are given points for it in the application for some scholarships and for jobs, later. There are even some scholarships tham require it as a condition sine qua non.
I think so. And what really matters is the place you get your PhD from, not the licence. There you'll establish closest contacts and useful networks. So it's better to save the best for that time.
