084885 MA Colloquium
Wednesday 16-18, room STU 102 (2.4), Studtstr. 21
- This colloquium addresses the techniques to translate empirical data into a theoretically sound, coherently argued and understandably written master thesis. We will engage in guided hands-on-writing exercises suitable for all students regardless of their research and/or writing stages. In addition to giving a short presentation of your research project in class, you will be asked to submit classwork according to the stage you have reached in the research/writing process. This supervised classwork can include: a reflection on research methods and challenges encountered; a first draft of the introduction to your MA thesis, with an overview of the relevant literature and introduction of one concept you use; a first version of one empirical chapter in which you present, analyze and discuss relevant data.
Aims & Goals. The graduates of this module learn to reflect on, analyze, and summarize their fieldwork data and experience coherently; learn to present an ethnographic argument through guided writing sessions; and learn how to structure their thesis.
