Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The seminar aims to accompany the students in finding their research topic, at the beginnings of its framing within literature and developing an initial research design. The focus will be on formulating a researchable topic, embedding it into a possible theoretical framework and literature and reflection on the ethical questions related to the topic and the research. The students are expected to work on their research ideas and present them in class as well as to comment on their peers’ research “proposals”.
The aim of the course is an understanding of the initial stages of proposal writing for ethnographic research. By the end of this course the students are expected to submit a first draft of their future MA research proposal.
Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the students are expected to have learned the process of finding a research topic and research question for their MA thesis together with its bottlenecks; how to embed the topic within existing scholarship; to have identified possible methods and the research design.
Structure: This class will be based on hands-on tasks related to finding a research topic/question and research design. The classes will start with short lectures and the presentation/discussion of the assigned texts and the second half of the class would be on the hands-on assignments and their discussion.
