Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Compared to other forms of empirical research in the social sciences, ethnography appears as a relatively unstructured style of research, which might be one reason for the difficulty many students experience in developing their interpretation and theoretical arguments. The course is geared towards students who already gathered their ethnographic material. Together we will try to develop innovative arguments brought-in by participants in the writing up phase in relation to selected ethnographic studies.

Please note: The prerequisite for participation in advanced seminars is the conclusion of the doctoral thesis agreement.
