Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course you will gain a sound understanding of the social and institutional embeddedness of labor markets as well as their connections with other social phenomena such as social inequality, welfare regimes and economic policy developments. In addition, current topics such as digitization, (the reduction of) working hours and the meaning of work will be addressed.The contents will be developed by the participants through reading, presentation and discussion of texts as well as through lectures by the course instructor. Afterwards, they will be deepened by the participants through applying it in their own work.After successfully completing the course, you will know the basic topics of sociological labor market literature and common classifications such as different labor market regimes. You will be able to read the literature in this field critically and incorporate its results in your own work. You will be able to formulate sociological questions about the labor market, work on them independently and present the gained insights.
Assessment and permitted materials
Preparation of presentation of theory and structure discussion of the literature, final report, participation.The standards of good scientific practice must always be observed. If non-compliance is suspected, the lecturer can request a „notenrelevantes Gespräch“, which is a conversation on the grade. This takes place by appointment and aims to enable students to demonstrate that they prepared their contribution independently.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The assessment of the course is based on the following criteria: discussion preparation (30%), presentation (30%), final report (40%)Attendance at the first unit is mandatory. Regular active participation in the course is a prerequisite for a grade. For a passing grade, all sub-units must be completed, a minimum of 51% must be achieved, and the attendance requirement must be met. Written submissions are checked using the “TurnItIn” software; the (attempted) use of fraudulent means (e.g. use of unauthorised aids, plagiarism) will result in a non-assessment („X“) of the course in the student’s transcript of records.
