WiSe 12/13: Theories and Methods in Political and Social Research

Christian Lammert

Comments

In the first section of the course, we will study the major approaches to studying political science and social science. Students should be able to identify and apply these approaches to various topics in American politics. We will put particular emphasis on what constitutes the scientific method in political (and social) science, or if such a method is even possible. In the second section of the course, we will address several topics in American politics (one per week), and examine theories that attempt to explain political phenomena, often using seminal readings on the subject. The specific learning objectives that this course fulfills include: possess a factual and theoretical knowledge of countries, political processes, political theories, and political thought (with an emphasis on theoretical knowledge of political theories) use appropriate methods of analysis and research, including qualitative and quantitative methods, historical comparison, and textual interpretation to answer political questions write professional-grade research papers on political science questions communicate effectively by presenting ideas in a high-quality oral presentation think critically, analytically, and synthetically properly cite sources using a recognized citation style participate effectively in political processes by having an appropriate knowledge of international and national politics and political thought The course will be open for advanced master students with a major in political science. close
