Blockseminar, zweiwöchentlich (alternierend mit RDL-Kurs im Master)
This RDL course will provide students with an in-depth training on research design processes and key skills, being composed of (1) specific, interactive skill-training sessions with inputs and exercises provided by the faculty team; as well as (2) multiple mentoring / reflection spaces to discuss and present the various stages of conceptualizing, developing, presenting and peer-reviewing student research projects on self-selected case studies. The final component is (3) the “Museum Walk” where students present their research design or work in progress in a poster format while the remaining participants serve as discussants and provide constructive feedback (either as part of an IAAW Study/Research Day or a similar event, to be confirmed later on).Following a New Area Studies approach (see Knorr et al. 2022, Fleschenberg/Baumann 2020, Houben 2013), we will thus prepare for, reflect up on as well as discuss the following important steps in a research design as well as subsequent knowledge production process:• from research idea to research question, • identifying and reviewing the state of the art, • making theory work / operationalising concepts, • negotiating research ethics,• selecting and triangulating methods,• data and time management,• presentations skills,• Do’s and Don’ts in Academic Writing,• Do’s and Don’ts in Dissemination of Findings, with a particular focus on academic publishing (drafting a publication strategy, identifying publishing formats and outlets, Open Access formats, copy rights, navigating peer review and copy-editing processes).
Portfolio: Mindmap, annotated bibliography, poster with research design and subsequent presentation (either as part of an IAAW Study/Research Day)
Open for students from: MA Global History, MA Global Studies, MA Research Training in Social Sciences, MA International Relations, MA Gender Studies (with adjusted ECTS requirements and thus portfolio assignments if required)
