Course content
|
The basic aim of the course is to familiarise students with the methodology of the social sciences and humanities and their major developments in the past. The following examples will be used: history (representing humanities), sociology (representing social sciences), art (representing humanities) and political science (representing social sciences). The course will be structured thematically (for each of the units). The unit on the methodology of history as an academic discipline will focus on working with sources and the challenges of historical interpretation, in addition to concrete research methods. The unit on sociology will focus on the basic methodology of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Arts-based research methodology introduces the possibilities of arts-based (or 'creative') research methodology, and the spectrum of research methods also includes the unit on methodology in political science, which includes post-structuralist methods. In line with the thematic units, four lecturers will participate in the course during the semester. Lecturers: Mgr. et Mgr. Michaela Antonín Malaníková, Ph.D.; Gökhan Bacik, Ph.D.; Mgr. Elizabeth Allyn Woock, PhD.; Ph.D., Mgr. Vladislava Závrská
