Bekijk rooster Print deze pagina

Cursusdoel

After completing this course, the student:
A) is able to conduct academic research in the field of Gender and/or Postcolonial Studies;
B) has finalized a research question that will be taken up in the second year of the study programme;
C) has learned how to write an academic research proposal;
D) has been familiarized with academic conventions for the research and writing of a substantive project (i.e., RMA thesis).

Vakinhoudelijk

Only open to students enrolled in the RMA Gender Studies and GEMMA.

This research seminar has the aim of (1) building a student body that engages in a dialogical way with the study curriculum and individual research interests, and (2) forming research projects for students to pursue in year 2 of the study trajectory. The seminar offers a research environment in which students can refine their research topic, with special emphasis placed on epistemological questions, methodological issues, and theoretical perspectives. Whereas in Researching Intersectionally I emphasis is placed on exploring possible research interests, in this course the primary focus is on the development of an individual research project and on learning how to write a comprehensive research proposal. Throughout this process, students will slowly narrow down broad interests into a coherent research project. This seminar also serves as a productive discussion space in which students can connect with one another on academic issues or challenges.
