Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar takes place as a cooperation between the Institute for History and the Department of African Studies. We approach the development of statehood in Central Europe and Africa in the period from the 19th to the 20th century from a comparative perspective. This should sharpen our understanding of the conditions under which the expansion of the state is possible. After a comparative look at the conditions of development of the modern state in Central Europe and Africa, we will deal with infrastructure development, housing, health and poverty policies.
Assessment and permitted materials
Due to the switch to home learning, we had to adapt the organisation of the seminar. The central learning objectives remain the same.
The input statements of the colleagues who have taken over a moderation are made available on Moodle for all participants before each session. These texts should be between half a page and 2 pages long. They provide an important input for the discussion of the compulsory reading.
This discussion takes place virtually: Until the date of each session, all participants present a thesis on the preparatory literature (with a short explanation of about one paragraph) in the question-answer forum for discussion and comment on the theses of the others.
The oral presentation on the topic of the seminar paper will take place in the seminar when normal operation is restored. Alternatively, upload a short video with the presentation and slides to the Moodle site. The seminar paper of about 60,000 characters (25 p.) remains unchanged as a requirement. If access to the library stocks is delayed for a longer period of time, you can of course switch to digitally available resources. A revised version will be graded after a feedback discussion.
