Examination topics
(1) Active participation in the course: Preparation for the course dates by reading the basic literature and providing written answers to posed questions (max. 10 lines).
(2) Discussion contributions: The participants actively discuss the compulsory literature. At the end of the semester (possibly in a block unit by arrangement) the first version of the seminar paper will be presented in a 5-minute short presentation. The subsequent discussion serves to improve your own work.
(3) Proposal as group work: During the course of the seminar, participants (in groups of two) write a one- to two-page research proposal in which a chosen seminar paper topic is clarified, including the question, theoretical perspective, method, sources and literature. Each group receives written feedback on this exposé.
(4) Seminar paper as group work: Preparation of an empirically oriented essay from the topic of the course with 18-20 pages (excl. cover page, table of contents and list of literature). This should be a scientific article on a labor market topic of your interest (e.g. as a basis for your master's thesis). The literature discussed in the course can be used as a starting point, but reference must also be made to further literature in the seminar paper. When preparing the written work, the rules of academic work must be observed.

Further we focus on the role of education, personal networks and international comparisons by addressing current topics. At the end of the semester the initial versions of the final theses are briefly presented - in consultation with the students, this can also be organized in the form of a blocked class in the style of a conference.After successfully completing the course, you will know the basic topics of sociological labor market literature and common classifications such as different labor market regimes. You are able to read the literature in this field critically and incorporate its results in your own research. You can formulate sociological research questions about the labor market, work on them empirically and process and present the gained insights.
