Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The seminar focuses on various questions with regards to a PhD research design in the social sciences. We deal with the following questions: which elements should be included in a PhD research proposal in the social sciences? How to find a ‘good’ (overarching) research question? How to embed the research question theoretically? Furthermore, we deal with measuring concepts in the social sciences and causal inference. By doing so, PhD students should be able to find the best methodological approach to tackle their research question. The aim is to develop a first draft of a PhD research proposal. Students will have ample opportunities to present parts of their PhD research proposal.

The seminar will take place live in the lecture hall 10 ("Präsenzlehre").
