Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Drawing on theories and research from various social science and humanities fields (such as sociology, geography, anthropology, psychology, communication, and others), this doctoral-level interdisciplinary course covers a range of topics under the larger umbrella of space and place. Space and place are essential, but often overlooked, aspects of human experience at the micro level, and of social organization and structure at meso and macro levels. Throughout the semester, we will read, think, talk, and write about places and spaces at various scales, ranging from homes to cities, from nations to global regions, and examine many of their qualities, including aspects of knowledge, emotion, interaction, identity, and politics.
Assessment and permitted materials
Course assignments include weekly reading assignments, two in-class presentations, a book review, peer feedback, and a short final paper. The final paper can be a book review essay or a research proposal, both must be in the area of space & place. Please note that while the course will be held in English, written assignments and final papers can be submitted in German.
