| Content | This colloquium is meant for students of the MA Changing Societies, who are in the process of designing or writing their master’s thesis, or writing a seminar paper. They are invited to share their work in a collective setting, receive feedback from the Teaching Team and provide peer feedback. Students at different stages of developing a master’s thesis or seminar paper are welcome: from students who want to share their first ideas, to students who have developed initial research designs, to those who already want to discuss first analysis results. In the mindset of working together and learning from each other, theoretical, methodological, and empirical questions regarding the individual research design, but also practical aspects like time management and the writing process can be addressed. There will also be space to talk about the fascinating as well as possibly frustrating moments in the research process and related coping strategies. The course includes an information session about the oral exams. One session on Current practice in changing societies will be dedicated to exchange with invited practitioners on how they engage with the challenges of changing societies in their work. Also, students not participating in the colloquium are welcome to join this particular session. |
