Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This „Fachkolloquium“ (special seminar) looks at how cooperation, cohesion, solidarity, and other prosocial practices–as well as their various institutional manifestations– are conceptualised, and can be studied with the help of qualitative methods in the social sciences.The „Fachkolloquium“ (special seminar) pursues a twofold aim: First, to familiarise participants with qualitative social science approaches to studying prosocial practices and institutions; and second, for students to enhance their skills required to successfully finish a social science doctoral thesis.Although the course focuses on the study of prosocial practices and institutions in the qualitative social sciences, no specialised prior knowledge in this field is required; neither do students need to explore these topics in their own doctoral research in order to participate. The only requirements for participation are (a) the ability to participate in all four seminar blocks, and (b) the willingness and ability to do significant amounts of reading and writing in between the blocks. Experience with qualitative social science methods will make it easier for students to do the course assignments, but it is not a requirement for participation.
