| Inhalt | The course introduces students to the tools and methodologies of qualitative research and its epistemological foundations. It provides an overview of methodological approaches and tools in migration research and assesses options available for tackling manifold methodological challenges. In addition, it overviews key scholarly debates in the study of migration and citizenship in political science and related disciplines. The focus is on issues relevant across a wide range of research methods in migration studies, such as gaining access to hard-to-reach populations and operationalising relevant concepts. The course covers a wide range of themes: datafication of migrants, the politics of diaspora and citizenship. |

| Prüfung | Lehrveranst.-begleitend |
| Hinweise zur Prüfung | Active participation in class discussions (10%): Presentations (40%): 15–20-minute presentation. The presentation should critically engage with the methodological focus of the session, including a case study of your choice. The task is to bring into conversation the methodological discussions provided in the session’s readings (and earlier readings discussed during the seminar) with the empirical context of the case study. You will be assessed on the content and delivery of the presentation. Discussion (15%): The presentation will be followed by a 10 min Q&A facilitated by the discussant. The role of the discussant is to critically reflect upon the main arguments made in the presentation; to raise further questions (of conceptual, empirical, methodological nature) in relation to the readings and previous sessions; and to moderate the discussion and Q&A. Group work (35%): In a group of 2-3 people prepare a research design document on 2-3 pages (15%). The group will prepare a 10 min presentation of their research design for the end of the course (20%). |
