Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this seminar, students will examine interdisciplinary approaches to study gender and kinship in prehistoric archaeology. Students will learn the different theoretical notions of these two key concepts in the social organization of any group, as well as methods based on isotope, peptide and genetic analyses. They will be also offered a broader vision of kinship models based on ethnographic observations. The seminar will be a mix of teach-led presentations and discussions, guided reading and case studies. Students will lead weekly discussions on case-study presentations. The chronological and geographic scope will range from the Palaeolithic in Eurasia to Iron Age Europe. The aim is to bridge science-based analytical results with archaeological context interpretations, explaining applied methods and social/humanistic question, and discuss the implications for our understanding of the past in a written research paper and oral presentation. During this process, students will learn the skills necessary for producing scientific presentations and research papers, including lecture presentation style, writing abstracts and outlines, and the parts of a scientific paper.

Students will be expected to:
- Participate in in-class activities and discussions
- Select an individual topic of research from criteria provided by the instructors
- Perform independent research on the selected topic
- Give a presentation on the selected topic
- Give and receive feedback on their research and presentation from peers and instructors
- Write a final paper on the selected topic of research

Methods
Participation in lectures, discussions and workshops, critical study of literature, and independent development of research.
