The aim of the seminar is to equip students with the methodological skills to develop a sound research design for environmental politics and beyond. After the seminar, students will be able to conduct independent research in form of MA thesis. The seminar has a two-fold approach: Students will read texts that sensitize for methodological problems and provide guidance in developing a research design. We intertwine these sessions with “application sessions” in which students pick-up the readings and apply them. To this end, participants choose a project topic at the beginning of the seminar, whereby their own research projects such as a master thesis can be introduced. At the end of the seminar, a draft research design for this project - usually modified and refined in a suitable manner during the course of the seminar - is presented and discussed. It can then be developed into a term paper.
This seminar is an advanced MA course designed for students at the end of their studies. While there is a focus on environmental politics students are free to choose their own projects in the realm of political science, political sociology, world studies, or science studies. The seminar has an emphasis on interpretive methodology without excluding more conventional approaches. The course language is English; students may write their “applications” in German.
