Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This research colloquium is intended for students of social and cultural anthropology. The main product will be a seminar paper outlining the current state of your dissertation project, no matter whether you are preparing for the FÖP, are in the middle of fieldwork and data collection, or about to start writing up. Each student will present two versions of his or her paper, one in December and one in January. Active participation of all students is a necessary requirement to make this course useful for everyone involved. Each paper will have at least one designated discussant, who will provide written feedback. The focus of the discussions will be on methods and theories in order to link individual dissertation projects with larger anthropological discourses.
