The interdisciplinary perspective of the course - drawing mainly from political science, sociology, media studies, and linguistics focuses on two epistemologically different text analytical approaches, qualitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis.
The course attempts to provide tailored support to consolidate/advance the methodological design of the individual PhD projects. Hence, the seminar focuses on PhD students' concrete project-related interests and needs.
Participants are encouraged to briefly present their PhD project (7-10min max.) and indicate their methods related interest during the first meeting. The following meetings will be planned taking into consideration the information gathered from these presentations. Individual interests will be matched and relevant reading for the particular seminar units will be indicated on Moodle.
Moreover, individual consultations (45min per student) with the lecturer intend to discuss the methodological part of the thesis in more detail and provide additional advice. Appointments will be arranged on individual basis.
