Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The idea of a Global Sociology is closely associated with the study of globalisation and is underscored by debates regarding the ontological, epistemological and methodological orientations of sociological analysis. In this seminar we will explore theories of ‘global civil society’, ‘global governance’, ‘global social movements’, ‘cosmopolitanism’, ‘internationalism’ and ‘transnationalism’ in order to ascertain the contours of sociological theorisations of the global. We will investigate global inequalities and include postcolonial perspectives, while considering the debate over the current crisis of globalisation.The seminar will take place in German, but the majority of readings will be in English. Written coursework can be submitted in German or English.
Assessment and permitted materials
1) 2 x reflection on a chosen concept (25% each = 50% total)
2) 1x input for seminar discussion (presentation) (20%)
3) 1x written paper (30 %)Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme must be met.
If a required task is not fulfilled, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness).
In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarising parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading: Details will be announced by the lecturer.
