Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In the framework of the proseminar on the Muslim societies in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, students will develop a thematically relevant historical research question as part of writing the final paper and thereby deepen the techniques of academic work (literature research, identifying the current state of research on a selected topic, reading and interpreting sources, academic writing and citing, research of research literature and its evaluation, etc.). The course will start with introductory sessions on methodological and theoretical approaches to the history of Muslim communities in an imperial and colonial context. Students will work with texts on intercultural encounters, religion, legal systems and art history pertaining to Crimean Tatars and Central Asian and Caucasian Muslims in the Russian empire and the Soviet Union. During the semester, students will develop a research question, an exposé and a plan of the final paper, and will prepare a presentation of their chosen subject.
