Comments
This course introduces students to research design in the social sciences, with a particular focus on political science. The seminar offers both a theoretical and a hands-on approach to understanding research design. Part I of the course addresses core questions from the philosophy of science (e.g. what is causation and (how) can it be evidenced?); Part II introduces research design with an emphasis on hands-on exercises meant to enhance familiarity with principles through practice; Part III discusses techniques of data collection and analysis; Part IV is dedicated to honing the skills of writing a problem-oriented research proposal. The course is limited to students who are about to begin, or in the midst of writing, their MA or PhD thesis. close
