123822 SE DiplomandInnenseminar = MA-Seminar (Literature) (2012W)

This class will serve as a forum where students working on their M.A. theses can present their findings, address issues of special interest and discuss problems arising from their research. It will thus provide opportunities for scholarly discussion among peers, link up students working in similar fields and offer methodological guidelines as well as practical advice and critical feedback. Very often, similar problems arise in the course of larger research projects so that exchange of opinions and comparison of strategies for solving such problems have generally proved helpful and inspiring for students. There will also be room for discussing literary theory. All students specialising in literature and cultural studies are welcome, but students supervised by Profs. Rubik and Huber are particularly encouraged to attend. But please note: students should be well under way in their research; it is not the aim of this course to help students find a topic for their thesis.

This is an informal seminar for students who are working on their Diploma thesis, MA thesis or PhD, or are planning to do so. The class will give students the opportunity to introduce their projects, discuss the progress of their work and address possible problems arising from their research.
