Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course deals with the broad and multifaceted topic of gender in global history. It approaches the topic via an intersectionality approach. That means it looks at gender in global history at the intersection with various categories like class, sexuality, race, nation etc. The thematic work of the course is accompanied by very important methodological aims: participants of the course should learn how to develop and structure an academic paper and how to communicate research results through oral and written contributions. They should furthermore become accustomed to the critical reflection of their own academic working skills and be able to critically discuss other peoples work.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are expected to come to class regularly (only two missed classes are allowed). The grade is going to be based on regular contribution in class, written assignments, an oral presentation as well as the composition of a research proposal.

critically reflect academic literature (in abstracts, excerpts, reviews etc.)
