Friday, June 3, 2022: 13.00-19.00Friday, September 23, 2022, 11.00-14.00 (optional)The course will be organized in digital form via Zoom. A link will be provided for each session on the E-learning platform Moodle.The course is aimed at PhD students who mainly apply an interpretive or qualitative approach to their research project.
The interdisciplinary perspective of the course - drawing from political science, sociology, anthropology, media studies, linguistics, cultural studies and visual studies focuses on methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation such as qualitative content analysis, frame analysis, critical discourse analysis, visual analysis, and multimodal analytical approaches.
The course attempts to provide tailored support to consolidate/advance the methodological design of the individual PhD projects. Hence, the course 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 according to 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.
