Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal of part one of the research seminar is to learn about the fundamental components of a research design and to collaboratively develop a research interest and a guiding research question.
We will critically look at intersectionality approaches as potential theoretical and methodical tools for development studies and for qualitative social research as such. Intersectional approaches result from feminist theories and activism in the global South and North. They highlight that inequality is never one dimensional (e.g. power differences because of gender OR class) but that social differences interact.
The seminar also strongly focuses on participartory action research that calls for an intersectional and power sensitive approach and invites the students to conduct a participartory action research project.
