The overarching aim of this course is to support students in further developing their PhD (or MA) projects by focusing on various aspects of their research designs. It is neither a methods nor a methodology course. Instead, the course is hands-on and designed to help students work on their prospectuses. Therefore, we will not discuss extensive readings lists, but will focus instead on presenting, discussing, and discussing again your research designs. For most sessions, students will prepare sections of their prospectus which we will jointly improve. The discussions will help students to sharpen their research perspective and to advance their research design. Class participation and joint discussions will be crucial to achieve these goals. |
