Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar focuses on various questions with regards to a PhD research design in the social sciences. The first part of the course deals with the following questions: which elements should be included in a PhD research proposal in the social sciences? How to find a ‘good’ (overarching) research question? How to embed the research question theoretically? What is the best methodological approach to tackle my research question? The second part of the course discusses the problems associated with drawing causal inferences from observational and moves on to demonstrations of various research designs that are particularly well suited for establishing causal effects.
