The purpose of this course is to guide students in preparing their MA-thesis based on their research. As such, the seminar provides a framework to travel collectively through the process of writing-up. The students are expected to work individually towards their goal of completing the thesis. Topics addressed can include reflecting about data and ethics, search for key terms, strategies of distancing, finding a convincing interpretative framework and, last not least the formal requirements.
Methods
Joint discussion:
The students will present their empirical material in class at least once. Openness to constructive criticism, but also to engagement with ideas of peers are crucial aspects required for successful participation. The course participants might decide together with the teacher on additional useful tasks such as short accounts of ethics, writing exercises etc. to be discussed in class.The aim of the course is to work towards a skeleton thesis in joint discussions about its logic, structure and content. The ultimate outcome will be commented list of content, and draft introduction or one empirical chapter at the end of the teaching term.The sessions will take place as videoconference meetings on zoom. The links to the zoom meetings will be announced on moodle.
