Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar deals with various social movements and their influence on the legal system, be it through lobbying, by initiating referenda or by addressing the courts. Social movements may have emancipatory goals, such as the feminist or LGBTIQ+ movement, but they can also be reactionary, as the movement to abolish the fundamental right to abortion in the United States has shown.

Assessment and permitted materials

Presentation; participation at discussion.
A lege artis written diploma seminar paper (DSA) for diploma students. A DSA is an original scientific achievement by an individual student. The use of AI tools is not prohibited in principle, but they may only be employed as means of support.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Reflection, participation, discussion.
Success in writing a seminar paper along the guidelines of the "checklist for scientific work", which you can find on Moodle.

Examination topics

Since the course is a seminar, there is no examination and therefore no examination material - the basis for the performance assessment is the presentation and the participation in the discussion.

Reading list

Relevant literature will be made available via moodle.
