26006-01 - Seminar: Illness narratives (3 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2010 |
| Course frequency | Once only |
| Lecturers | Miriam Locher (miriam.locher@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | In this research seminar for MA students we will analyze texts of English medical students that were collected in connection with the Swiss National Science project entitled "Life (beyond) writing: Illness narratives". The students write about a memorable experience during their internship and thus create instances of reflective writing in which they construct their identities as students and aspiring doctors vis à vis the patients. This project is interdisciplinary and will allow us to explore the fields of narrative, identity construction and health in linguistics. The seminar involves both reading seminal texts on the topics mentioned, as well as workshops on data analysis. More information on the project can be found online at http://forschdb2.unibas.ch/inf2/rm_projects/object_view.php?r=66230&type=1 |
| Learning objectives | Students should get a first hand experience on developing research questions in a real research project and will thus be given the opportunity to contribute to answering the research questions posed in the project. In addition, they will acquire specialized knowledge in the field of narrative studies, the study of identity and health communication. |
