The seminar is an important step in guiding the preparation of an MA or PhD thesis in East Asian Economy and Society (EcoS). Students enrolled in language courses and regular seminars (e.g., first and second-semester EcoS students) are not advised to enroll in this course. To make it as efficient and effective as possible for you, it should be attended in the third or fourth semester of the MA program, or at the beginning of the PhD program. Importantly, you must already have a topic for your thesis in mind. The seminar leads you through the key components of the theoretical part of your thesis.

The tasks to be completed during the seminar include: Presenting and defending your topic/title and research question; the relevance of your research question; the structure of your literature review; your literature review; your analytical framework. The seminar thus leads right into the preparation of the actual thesis.
Classes will focus on reviewing and discussing the assignments submitted by students in a manner that will benefit all students with the development of the theoretical part of their thesis. Students will also be expected to review examples of research design and participate in evaluating them in class.
