In the course of the seminar, we will discuss which elements are important for an exposé or a master thesis (research question, research overview, theoretical framework, methodological approach, etc.) and, based on readings and presentations, we will jointly discuss the planned (or already started) work.
If there is interest, we can focus on historiographical approaches to development studies.
