Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar focuses on introductory aspects with regards to a PhD research design in the social sciences. We deal with the following questions: which research paradigms exit in social sciences and which implications do they have on researchers' research designs? Which elements should be included in a PhD research proposal in the social sciences? How to find a 'good' (overarching) research question? How to embed the research question theoretically? How to conceptualize theoretical mechanism and derive hypotheses from there? What are dependent and independent variables in a PhD proposal, and how are they related? Which methodological approaches can tackle the research questions best and which data is needed? The aim is to develop a first draft of a PhD research proposal. Students will have the possibility to present parts of their PhD research proposal.
