Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Lehrende: Cornelia Staritz

The research colloquium addresses PhD students in development studies and related fields in the social sciences that focus in their dissertations on questions around power, inequality and transformations at different levels and (uneven) development with some link to, but also going beyond, Global North and South relations. During the colloquium different perspectives on the ‘complex’ subjects of power, inequality and development are discussed, challenging mainstream approaches and practices. The colloquium provides opportunities to present and discuss research proposals, planned and ongoing research, and related theoretical, methodological and empirical issues. Thematically, the colloquium concentrates on discussions of economic, social, political and environmental inequalities from a political economy perspective, but is open to other theoretical and methodological approaches around the analysis of power, inequality and (uneven) development. Participants will present their proposals or chapters/papers of their thesis, peer-review other proposals or chapters/papers and actively take part in in-class discussions of the work of other participants. The colloquium is also a safe place to raise and discuss issues that arise in all parts of the research process of the doctoral thesis.
