This seminar adresses the question of how to translate „transregional” Southeast Asia studies into particular research methods. It starts out by reflecting a common understanding of “Southeast Asia”, then turns towards theoretical and practical methods of “doing” transregional Southeast Asian studies, and, in the final third of the seminar, applies these theoretical and practical approaches to selected empirical examples / cases.
The learning objective of this seminar is to provide students with methodological skills and expertise in transregional Area Studies. These skills and expertise will enable them to apply particular methods to their own research projects, e.g. in a master thesis or a complex term paper. |
