Comments

The course is primarily targeted at students of the MA Social Sciences and the MA Research Training Program in Social Sciences; but advanced bachelor students can be admitted as well if places are still available. Disciplines: Social Sciences, Political Science, Sociology, Economics, Social Psychology. Admission only after prior application via email (until 01.04.2022 to ruud.koopmans@hu-berlin.de), including letter of motivation, overview of courses and seminars thus far completed (BA and/or MA), and (if already known) planned topic of master’s or bachelor’s thesis. The course consists of active participation in at least 10 sessions of the weekly research colloquium of the Department “Migration, Integration, Transnationalization” (MIT) at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, which runs from the beginning of September through the end of June of each academic year. The course is intended for highly motivated students who consider academic research as a possible future career option. Its aim is to give students direct insight into ongoing academic research and debates at one of Europe’s leading research departments in the field. In the research colloquium of the MIT department, WZB researchers as well as external speakers, both national and international, present and discuss ongoing research in the areas of migration, immigrant integration, discrimination, xenophobia, religious fundamentalism, and ethnic and religious conflicts. Methodologically, the emphasis of the research presented and discussed in the colloquium is on quantitative and experimental methods, but qualitative, normative and legal perspectives are also included. However, for students without any affinity to quantitative methods the colloquium is probably not the right choice. The course may be taken within one semester (all 10 mandatory sessions then need to be within that semester) or across two semesters. In either case, admitted students are welcome to participate in more than 10 sessions. close
