Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this interdisciplinary research seminar, we explore a selection of contemporary social issues from an interdisciplinary philosophy and economics perspective, and practice interdisciplinary research skills.Upon successful completion of the seminar, you will have developed your skills in independent interdisciplinary research and will be able to use your knowledge of philosophy and economics to position yourself with regard contemporary social issues in an academically rigorous manner.Before the start of the semester, the lecturers will select three seminar themes, in consultation with all MA Philosophy and Economics students who intend to participate in the seminar.For each of the three seminar themes, you will complete a series of research steps that lead you from a very rough selection of a contemporary social issue to a more focused research question, to knowledge of key philosophy and economics ideas and debates pertaining to the question, and finally to a fully formulated plan for an essay or report on the question. Under the guidance of the lecturers, you will take some of these steps in individual seminar preparation, and others cooperatively with other students during the seminar.The seminar is taught and assessed in English, and will feature extensive small group discussions.

Information
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The seminar is assessed through weekly assignments, a podcast/video presentation, and a final written assignment.1) *Weekly research tasks* which contribute to collaboratively exploring a new research topic and developing research plans. These are marked for completeness, not for "correctness": what matters here is that you have seriously attempted the tasks and prepared for the seminar. *Deadline:* Each teaching week 9am on the day before the seminar, so that students can read each other's contributions in preparation of the seminar. Tasks that are late without authorisation can at most score a grade of 4 (mere pass). *Weight of all tasks combined: 30%*.2) One *video presentation*, of 10-15 minutes, in which you explain a paper in economics or philosophy that is of key importance to the seminar themes. There will be a sign-up roster for selecting a seminar week to contribute your video presentation to: For each of the seminar themes, there will be one week discussing philosophy, and one week economics, ideas relevant to the theme. Your presentation will present one key paper of your own choosing, the paper selection must be agreed upon with the lecturers, and lecturers can offer guidance for selecting a paper. *Deadline:* The video presentations must be uploaded by 9am on the day before the respective seminar. *Weight: 20%.* Since the success of the seminar depends on everyone watching the presentations before the seminar sessions, delayed uploads can achieve at most a passing grade (4). If upload is delayed for reasons outside of your control, e.g. illness, then this penalty does not apply.3) A final written assignment, of 2500-2700 words. *Deadline:* February 28, 23:59. *Weight: 50%*. You have a choice of three assignment formats:
- An interdisciplinary academic essay/paper, which argues for a particular claim or answer to a question pertaining to one of the seminar themes, and which uses ideas from both disciplines to make its point.
- A report or case study on a problem or question pertaining to one of the seminar themes, which uses ideas from both disciplines. The intended target audience are decision-makers in political organisations and government, business, or the non-profit sector.
- A research proposal, suitable for a PhD application, which explains a problem or question pertaining to the seminar themes, the state of the art of the relevant literature in philosophy and economics, and outlines a PhD thesis and research programme.The paper outline and paper are to be submitted on Moodle, as pdf file, with all identifying information (name, student ID) in the text, file name, and file metadata removed to facilitate anonymous marking. Delayed submissions get a marking penalty of +0.2 for each day (24h) of lateness, although this penalty does not lead to a failing grade. If your submission is delayed for reasons outside of your control, please contact the lecturers via email as soon as possible.We will only look at and mark the final assessment after the deadline, irrespective of how early you submit, and will then mark them within four weeks. If you need your mark earlier, e.g. if you are on an exchange semester, please explicitly request this by email.By registering for this course/seminar, you tacitly agree to having all your electronic submissions checked by the plagiarism detection software Turnitin.
