Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course aims to prepare the students for their MA research. Part of the course will focus on the literature that will help the students to refine their anticipated research methodology and come up with a research design suitable to their research topic. The students are expected to work on their research proposal (present different parts of it in class in the form of short assignments). A fully developed research proposal will be the outcome of the course. The course will be most beneficial for students whose research topics are related with questions about migration, refugees especially in cultural industries and in housing, citizenship, urban restructuring.
