The course offers a systematic and application-oriented introduction to qualitative methods in empirical social research. To this end, the course begins by introducing the theoretical foundations of qualitative science, research logic, and general principles of qualitative social research. After an overview of the stages of the qualitative research process, this is then explored theoretically and through practical exercises using various data collection and analysis methods: Important qualitative data collection methods and selected analysis methods (e.g., grounded theory, qualitative content analysis) are covered. In the exercises, students will gain and reflect on their first practical experiences with, among other things, guideline construction and various interpretation methods. Questions of case selection, field access and research ethics, generalizability and typology will be addressed.
This course requires successful completion of the Methods II lecture.

Social network analysis (SNA) examines relationships between entities within a social system. These entities can be individuals, but also e.g. companies or countries. Social network analysis is thus a relational sociological perspective. The course begins with explaining the basic concepts and demonstrating possible applications. For example, the concept of “ethnic boundaries” or “social assimilation,” which is widespread in integration research, can be operationalized and examined using network analysis methods based on appropriate data. Subsequently, concepts and statistical methods will be explored in greater depth and practical application using various packages within the R software.

Prerequisites: A Wi-Fi-enabled laptop and a University of Bremen e-mail account for eduroam are required for the course. Tablets won’t work. An openness to quantification and formal representation is required, basic knowledge on binary logistic regression is helpful. Install R first, R Studio afterwards.

Credits: 6 CP only! Students write a 4000 words paper (+/-10%, excluding 15 words abstract) in which they apply one of the network methods we discussed in the course. Just use a standard format, times new roman, 1.5 rows.

This course introduces you to the wondrous world of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Structural Equation Models are a very versatile tool for social scientists, as they combine measurement of complex concepts (e.g., values or attitudes) with the estimation of structural effects. The course focuses on the statistical foundation of this approach, the estimation of SEMs (using R-package lavaan), as well as the interpretation of SEM-results. We cover topics such as latent variable modelling, direct and indirect effect estimation, multigroup analysis and model fit evaluation. Basics background knowledge in statistics (e.g., descriptive statistics, null-hypothesis testing, and regression analysis) is required.

By the end of this course you will…
• …be able to specify, estimate and interpret a CFA and SEM models, ranging from simple models to more complex ones (including multigroup models)
• …understand a variety of fit indices used to evaluate SEM models
• …have a better understanding of different approaches for measuring latent variables
• …have the necessary knowledge to separate direct from indirect effects in explanation models

Key topics covered
Over the course of five modules (one per lecture day), a variety of topics that are fundamental to SEM are discussed.

Module 1 covers the very basics of SEM. We start from questions such as: What is the difference between SEM and more conventional multivariate techniques, such as regression analysis? What are the advantages and specificities of the SEM approach? Module 1 introduces important terminology and notation systems, and provides an overview of different models in the SEM tradition.

In Module 2, we highlight a particular branch within the SEM family, namely latent variable models / measurement models / confirmatory factor analysis. This application allows us to discuss the issues of model specification, parameter estimation, model restrictions and identification in greater depth.

Module 3 provides three different approaches to SEM estimation that each imply a different epistemological position. The wide variety of procedures to evaluate model fit is reviewed and the assumptions of the SEM model are discussed.

Module 4 focuses on a second branch of the SEM approach: structural models. We cover examples such as path analysis, structural regression models and MIMIC models.

Finally, Module 5 introduces the concept of multigroup SEM, and illustrates how this approach can be used in comparative research (including tests for measurement equivalence).

Research about sustainability concerns macro-, meso- and micro-phenomena and their interdependency, many of them of interdisciplinary interest. Das Seminar is rooted in sociology and in psychology, adding interdisciplinary as topics demand from legislation, medicine, and technology assessment research.
Subject matters of this training seminar are, after an introductory step, issues of sociological and psychological concern in the wake of the digital transformation, e.g.: What changes in our attention, memory and social cognition due to internet-use? How does the internet change childhood and adolescence, and how does that impact on developmental issues? Does digitalisation promote equality, or what are new concerns of a digital divide? Which work places are currently foremost endangered by the digital transformation, and what kind of new work opportunities are emerging instead? Which laws protect against unwanted side effects of the digitalisation? When we consider phenomena such as social media, gaming, porn-consumption, the manosphere, etc., what are psychological and medical health concerns, and what is behind “buzz word diagnosis”? Overall, what does “digital literacy” mean in light of the above? Up-to-date interdisciplinary findings help to explore those questions in search of answers. During the start phase, the concrete selection of topics to work on, related to the participant’s interests, will be an important step.
In this training seminar, socially sustainably methods of participation and democratic interaction based on TCI (Cohn) are used while working on selected topics. In an introductory workshop, the modus operandi and basic knowledge is conveyed, and participants choose a topic they would like to work on in teams. Furthermore, student’s teams develop workshop parts about their topics, so that it can be understood and explored together. Theoretical as well as practical insights become tangible through the setting. Upfront reading, short inputs and guided activities in small groups interlock beneficially for participants and the group. The lecturer provides methods and literature, offers practice examples, gives counsel to student’s teams in their preparations, and a differentiated feedback.
Requirement: Willingness of active participation, reflection and interaction are important for participation in this training setting over 7 workshops of 3 hours each. For BA Sociology participants, the Module W1 is studied in 2 stand-alone seminars. It can be complemented with another seminar beside, or with a second seminar of “Sociology meets Psychology”.
Recommended for 3rd semester BA students of Sociology before their internship and thesis, but explicitly open from the 1st semester. Open to Master and Erasmus students, and as capacity allows, to students from other faculties. The training group is limited to 20 participants.
2 SWS: Fortnightly, starting in the 2nd week of the term, Tuesdays 4-7 pm; 3 hours (s.t.). Please register reliably via Stud.IP for your participation, thank you.

This seminar starts as an online workshop on the announced date. You will receive additional details on the event in advance by email via StudIP.
After signing up for the seminar on Stud.IP, please confirm your attendance by sending an email to stwkprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de (please mention your name, matriculation number and the name/number of this seminar in your mail).
In this three-part online workshop, students will learn basic strategies and techniques for time- and self-management. While the workshop is open to anyone interested, it will be particularly useful for students currently working on larger projects (like a bachelor- or masterthesis). In the first section of our workshop, I will explain the importance of goal setting and I will introduce you to different planning tools (milestones, personal Kanban) and working techniques (timeblocking/timeboxing, Pomodoro technique). Afterwards, students will have the opportunity to first assess their present time management strategies and then they will create their own to-do lists and schedules during the workshop. There will be plenty of room for students’ questions throughout the whole workshop.
Until the second part of the workshop, students will have the chance to experiment with the techniques they learned during the first session and find out what works best for them. In our second meeting, we will talk about our experiences with time management in the previous week before I present strategies for avoiding distractions and procrastination. Our third meeting is all about maintaining a productive working attitude in the long term. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, a weekly plan with comments, and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project and/or their struggles with time management.

Wie kann ich meine deutschen Bandwurmsätze in einen knackigen, englischsprachigen Fachtext verwandeln? Wie kann ich typisch „denglische“ Formulierungen vermeiden? Und was war nochmal der Unterschied zwischen „affect“ und „effect“?
Solche (und ähnliche) Fragen werden in diesem online Workshop geklärt, bei dem Studierende sich grundlegende Kenntnisse über wissenschaftliches Schreiben in englischer Sprache verschaffen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Verfassen von Hausarbeiten, je nach Wunsch der Teilnehmenden kann jedoch zusätzlich auch auf andere Textsorten wie beispielsweise Versuchsprotokolle, Fallberichte o.ä. eingegangen werden. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Alle Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Für Studierende, die noch kein konkretes Schreibprojekt in Angriff nehmen wollen, werde ich allgemeine Übungen zur Verfügung stellen. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit interaktiven Schreibübungen in Einzelarbeit ab, deren individuelle Ergebnisse im Austausch zu zweit reflektiert werden. Am Ende jeder Arbeitsphase werden in der Gesamtgruppe die Ergebnisse formuliert sowie noch offene Fragen geklärt.
Im Anschluss an das Webinar müssen diejenigen Studierenden, die 1 CP/ECTS für die Teilnahme erhalten wollen, eine zusätzliche schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, entweder ein Exposé (für eine Hausarbeit) oder einen Essay (eine kurze, argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit einer selbstgewählten, wissenschaftlichen Fragestellung) (ca. 3 Seiten) sowie eine Selbstreflexion zum gesamten Seminar (1-2 Seiten).
Zudem biete ich nach Ende der Veranstaltung für alle Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit einer online Einzelberatung entweder telefonisch, per Mail oder ebenfalls als Zoom Meeting, um offene Fragen zu einem aktuellen Schreibprojekt zu klären.

In this two-part online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of how to engage with secondary literature productively. This workshop is designed for students who are new to doing research – no previous experience is needed. In the first section of our workshop, I will explain what secondary literature is, why it is an essential component of academic writing, and where to find it. Students will then have the opportunity to get started with their research activities during the workshop and there will be plenty of room for students’ questions. For the second part of the workshop, students will bring along the secondary texts they found, as this section will teach them how to assess secondary texts concerning their credibility and usefulness for a specific research topic. Students will also learn how to write excerpts for secondary texts that will help them get an overview of the state of research on their research topic. Eventually, I will introduce students to different ways of referencing secondary literature in their own texts (without resorting to plagiarism), followed by several interactive writing exercises.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, an annotated bibliography on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages), and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

The aim of this two part online workshop, is to prepare students to write their first own articles for publication in academic journals. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for (master’s degree) students who are working on getting their research published. In the first section of our workshop, I will provide students with an overview of the academic publishing process: we will discuss how to find potential publication platforms, how to avoid predatory journals and gain an overview of the different kinds of academic journals that are out there. You will also learn more about the first steps of deciding on a journal and approaching editors.
Until the second part of the workshop, students have time to start writing their own article: together we will work on finding the most effective title for your article, writing a convincing abstract and creating a clear structure for your article. I will further provide advice on editing and proofreading and we will learn more about the peer review process.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in an additional piece of work, either an outline for a journal article (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

Many seminars at German universities require their students to write term papers. However, what your lecturer here in Germany expects from you might be very different from what is common elsewhere.
In this online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of academic writing for German universities. At the center of this seminar is the format of the Hausarbeit (term paper). After I have introduced you to the formal criteria of German term papers, all participants will learn how to develop own research questions, how to create an outline for your term paper and how to kick off the writing process. All participants have the opportunity to work on their own topics. For students who do not yet want to tackle a specific writing project, I will provide exercises that are more general. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it is specifically tailored to the needs of international students. In the workshop, inputs from the lecturer alternate with interactive writing exercises and there will be plenty of room for individual questions.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

To be and feel well prepared is crucial for successfully navigating a job interview. But how to prepare for interviews when it comes to jobs or internships abroad?

Beginning with cultural and procedural differences and specifics, coming to questions and answering strategies to be prepared for up to dress code and more – this seminar is giving you an overview on recommended strategies how to prepare for such occasions.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

Themes

• focussing on different areas of life
• Formulate professional and personal goals
• Utilising findings from brain research
• Supporting your own creative potential
• Shaping decision-making processes

What are my individual strengths and skills and in which working environment can I utilise them optimally? What ideas do I have about life and how do these fit in with my goals?

Convictions about what makes sense in curiculum vitae, what is "in demand" and concerns about the future can sometimes block us from recognising and using our own potential. If we are enthusiastic about what we do, we will be able to perform well in the long term.

This seminar gives you the opportunity to look at your own goals and how to realise them. Psychological models can help us to better understand and utilise our own motivation. In addition, findings from brain research can be put to practical use in order to clarify decisions and optimise the use of one's own energy.

How it works: The special thing about this compact seminar is that participants work directly and individually on their specific situations, questions and ideas. The small group size allows us to respond flexibly to the individual participants. The questions of personal goals and professional orientation while at the same time balancing one's own abilities and needs take centre stage.

Different methods from supervision and coaching (transactional analytical and systemic approach) are used as required.

The online format also includes phases of plenary, individual and partner work, as well as generous breaks. Experience from the last semester has shown that creative, committed and clarifying processes as well as a pleasant group cohesion are also possible here.

In everyday (work) life we often use skills automatically, without being aware of it. People often do not remember here they learned these competencies or do not assess their skills – and therefor it is difficult for them to denominate them or describe their potential.

In a job (or for your time as a student) self-awareness and knowledge of one's own strengths are necessary in order to:
• shape your profile
• learn, what kind of work environment might be beneficial for you
• develop strategies for future plans
• negotiate conditions (for jobs etc)

In the joint workshop and in the individual preparation phase, we use biographical exercises, specific ability tools, a personality tool and a cooperative negotiation model.

There will be room for exchange and feedback.

Goals:
The participants
• know and assess their personal strengths
• are able to establish the connection between competences and events from their biography
• reflect their needs and dreams
• can communicate confidently

In the series participants
• learn about the structures and requirements of the application process (with a stress on changes for the future)
• practically explore job search tools and the digital application features
• reflect their skills and competencies with a stress on so called "next skills" and the VUCA-World
• sharpen their profile and learn about potentials for optimization
• practice putting their skills and abilities into words (e.g. for employers etc)
• learn how to make active sourcing strategies work for them
• decide how they want to network in the future

The workshops build on each other but can also be attended separately. Thanks to the blended learning format, information is made available on the learning platform and those who have already attended one or more courses will be able to cross-reference learning content. Those who attend only one of the courses will receive relevant material and can continue to work actively with it.

Workshop I: „Application 4.0 – Tips and tricks for the professional use of digital application tools“
This workshop is the basic for the entire application process: we start with current tools of job research and the digital application process.

The workshop will explain most of the features of online application using practical examples - and practical exercises (with feedback).

This includes self-presentations (e. g. LinkedIn), knowledge about strategic job search, the use of online job portals - but also other features of so called "robot recruitment", such as preselection tools or time-delayed video interviews.

Content and topics:
• Basics of personnel selection: what do recruiters do why - and how can you make that work for you
• Successful use of digital selection and preselection tools
• Optimize your application documents for ATS
• ChatGPT: what can I use AI for - and how?
• Other online tools (virtual assessment, delayed video interview, etc. )

Goals:
You get to know different recruiting tools and know how to use them for your benefit.

Workshop II: „Future Skills – competences for your professional future“
Future Skills are often directly reduced to digital skills, which – as important as they are – only represent one side of the Future Skill coin.

In the context of a VUCA world, the focus of employers shifts from "what?" to a combination of "how?" and "why?". It is no longer the specialist knowledge that plays the main role, but methods and, above all, meaningful values and attitudes that are becoming increasingly important.

Complicated? No - because as a Student or PhD or PostDoc you automatically use and train a lot of that so called "next skills".

In the workshop you will discover which next skills you already use - and how you can convince others (e.g. employers) of your future-skills-profile.

Goals:
You identify all moments in your studies (or work as a researcher) where you use so called "future skills". You assess the relevance of these skills on the basis of job descriptions and can give connect job requirements with specific examples from your skill-profile.

You can assess how ‘fit for the future’ you are and develop meaningful evidence for the application process and/or your further development plans.

Workshop III: „Be self-confident in job interviews - how to convince others and negotiate your wishes“
There are no real "rules" for job interviews - it depends on the company or organization you have been applying at, and the person responsible for the recruiting.

Nevertheless some basic and overall preparation is helpful. This workshop will support you by:
• Optimizing your self-presentation for job interviews (and similar situations)
• Negotiating relevant parameters and conditions of a working contract
• Developing a strategy for answering questions (without using supposedly "best answers", because these are an invention of guidebook-authors)
• Adjusting to different interview settings (online and offline)

We will focus on your individual preparation for job interviews - related to your filed of work, your employer etc. You might change your perspective on interviews by receiving feedback and sharing your experience with other participants. This strengthens your own ability to act on your own.

Goals:
You gain self-confidence for your self-presentations (various settings) and develop convincing examples for proof (of your skills), derived from your profile.

So you can overcome communicative challenges of self-presentation in job interviews and better negotiate your contract.

Workshop IV: „How to do networking with an impact“
If you are well connected, you have a better chance of achieving your professional goals, building and developing successful collaborations – and receiving appreciation for your achievements and performance.

In the workshop
• you analyze your existing network and develop options for optimizing it
• elaborate what you can specifically contribute to a network
• develop an appropriate strategy for your (future) networking goals
• decide witch digital and real-live networks you will use for your career plans
• come up with a feasible and short action plan for transferring what has been learned into daily networking

Goals:
You have communicative skills and practical knowledge to strategically expand your network.

Uni Bremen, der Hochschulen im Land Bremen sowie der Uni Oldenburg.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

Our concept:
A very comprehensive model is presented: Very founded observations form the basis. Therefrom, the following has been derived exactly: Adequate coordinates for space navigation have been derived. Space is a stochastic average of indivisible volume portions. Their dynamics has been derived. Their emergent quantum properties have been deduced, including the quantum postulates and a respective adequate quantum field theory. Emergent gravity, including the bosons of interaction have been derived. These results are summarized.

Competence, skills and expertise:
We derive our results explicitly. So, each student can derive all results on her or his own. This improves competence, confidence and self – esteem. At the end of this lecture, the students can explain how the basic present – day fundamental physical theories can be unified, generalized and derived from very few and very founded observations. Therefore, the topic has a high predictive power, so a Short Research Project can be chosen instead of the Seminar Presentation.

Content:
The above concepts, methods of testing and the corresponding observations constitute the content of the course.

This course gives an introduction into basic features and concepts of ethics with respect to scientific research, political institutions and business. It is laid out when and how responsibility arises. Basic moral values will be introduced, and together with common moral theories, these will be applied to several typical case studies in engineering. Various Codes of Ethics will be analyzed and discussed. We will also discuss values in the design process, environmental ethics, and space ethics.
There is a reading assignment to every session, which is a text from a pool consisting of introductory teaching material, Codes of Ethics from various organizations and papers about Engineering Ethics.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

The job market is becoming increasingly competitive - even for highly qualified academics. Global developments are affecting Germany’s economy, and ongoing digitalization continues to reshape the demand for jobs based on typical academic competencies (e.g. writing, research, and innovation).

As a result, traditional career strategies that used to lead to success are losing their relevance. Graduates now need to update both their mindset and their approach to career planning.

While core elements such as defining career goals and refining professional profiles remain essential, this workshop places a stronger emphasis on strategic flexibility. Participants will explore their openness to change with respect to geographical mobility, career goals, and timelines. They will develop alternative perspectives and concrete action plans for their next career steps.

The workshop also provides valid and up-to-date information about current labor market trends. Participants will analyze how their academic can be transferred to roles outside of Academia and will systematically assess their professional profiles.

In addition, they will receive practical resources and guidance on job search strategies and application processes, ultimately developing a personalized plan for a successful transition into a professional career.

Goals: You have developed a personal career compass and are able to strategically plan your career and job search even in these challenging economic times.

In order to participate, participants need a laptop or computer with audio/video functionality. They also need a stable internet connection.

If writing an academic paper feels daunting and lonely and you struggle to motivate yourself to start writing alone at home, this workshop is for you! This class provides a supportive environment for working on your own writing projects. We will meet on four consecutive afternoons to motivate each other and write together. Each session will start with a short update on where we are right now and what we are planning to do this afternoon, followed by an hour of uninterrupted writing time, and end with a discussion on what we achieved during the independent working phase. During the whole session, the instructor is available for writing advice and feedback. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Wie kann ich meine deutschen Bandwurmsätze in einen knackigen, englischsprachigen Fachtext verwandeln? Wie kann ich typisch „denglische“ Formulierungen vermeiden? Und was war nochmal der Unterschied zwischen „affect“ und „effect“?
Solche (und ähnliche) Fragen werden in diesem online Workshop geklärt, bei dem Studierende sich grundlegende Kenntnisse über wissenschaftliches Schreiben in englischer Sprache verschaffen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Verfassen von Hausarbeiten, je nach Wunsch der Teilnehmenden kann jedoch zusätzlich auch auf andere Textsorten wie beispielsweise Versuchsprotokolle, Fallberichte o.ä. eingegangen werden. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Alle Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Für Studierende, die noch kein konkretes Schreibprojekt in Angriff nehmen wollen, werde ich allgemeine Übungen zur Verfügung stellen. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit interaktiven Schreibübungen in Einzelarbeit ab, deren individuelle Ergebnisse im Austausch zu zweit reflektiert werden. Am Ende jeder Arbeitsphase werden in der Gesamtgruppe die Ergebnisse formuliert sowie noch offene Fragen geklärt.
Im Anschluss an das Webinar müssen diejenigen Studierenden, die 1 CP/ECTS für die Teilnahme erhalten wollen, eine zusätzliche schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, entweder ein Exposé (für eine Hausarbeit) oder einen Essay (eine kurze, argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit einer selbstgewählten, wissenschaftlichen Fragestellung) (ca. 3 Seiten) sowie eine Selbstreflexion zum gesamten Seminar (1-2 Seiten).
Zudem biete ich nach Ende der Veranstaltung für alle Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit einer online Einzelberatung entweder telefonisch, per Mail oder ebenfalls als Zoom Meeting, um offene Fragen zu einem aktuellen Schreibprojekt zu klären.

Many seminars at German universities require their students to write term papers. However, what your lecturer here in Germany expects from you might be very different from what is common elsewhere.
In this online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of academic writing for German universities. At the center of this seminar is the format of the Hausarbeit (term paper). After I have introduced you to the formal criteria of German term papers, all participants will learn how to develop own research questions, how to create an outline for your term paper and how to kick off the writing process. All participants have the opportunity to work on their own topics. For students who do not yet want to tackle a specific writing project, I will provide exercises that are more general. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it is specifically tailored to the needs of international students. In the workshop, inputs from the lecturer alternate with interactive writing exercises and there will be plenty of room for individual questions.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

In contrast to other classes that invite you to pay attention to what you learn, this seven-week-long course encourages you to focus on how you learn. Inspired by agile methods of project work, this class emphasizes self-directed learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and self-reflection. You will set your own goals that can either be connected to specific study content (e.g., preparing for an upcoming exam) or more general goals related to your personal development (e.g., feeling more confident when contributing to classroom discussions in seminars). While there are three sessions with the whole course where the instructor will share some advice, you will spend most of your time in a small learning group of 3 to 4 people. Due to this format, the workshop requires a high degree of reliability, an openness to trying out interdisciplinary working strategies, and a willingness to engage in teamwork with other students. Together with your group, you will acquire learning strategies to help you achieve your goals and have the opportunity to share your experiences and gain insights from your fellow students. These group sessions, along with your individual work, will help you to practice self-reflection, by tracking your learning progress, identifying areas for improvement, and trying out different learning approaches. Additionally, the instructor is available for individual counseling sessions upon request. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a learning diary and a self-reflection paper.

This online workshop is designed to support students with editing and revising their term papers and/or bachelor/mastertheses. Students will get a concise overview of editing techniques that they can immediately apply to their current writing projects. We will talk about the common structures for term papers and practice streamlining your line of argumentation. You will also learn more about how to avoid plagiarism in their paper and get some practice in proofreading. At the center of this workshop are the students’ own writing projects that will be discussed in small groups. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: an outline for a term paper (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions.

This in-person workshop is designed to support students with their communication and presentation skills. Students will get a concise overview of the basics of rhetoric; afterwards, they can immediately apply what they learned to their current projects. We will talk about the common structures for speeches and presentations and practice organizing your content efficiently. You will also learn more about how to handle stage fright and nervousness and you will practice managing discussions with the audience. During the workshop, participants are expected to do a short presentation on a research topic of their choice. This workshop is particularly useful for students who are preparing for their first presentation at the university and/or who are preparing for an oral exam. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a written outline for a research presentation and a self-reflection on the entire seminar.

This seminar starts as an online workshop on the announced date. You will receive additional details on the event in advance by email via StudIP.
After signing up for the seminar on Stud.IP, please confirm your attendance by sending an email to stwkprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de (please mention your name, matriculation number and the name/number of this seminar in your mail).
In this three-part online workshop, students will learn basic strategies and techniques for time- and self-management. While the workshop is open to anyone interested, it will be particularly useful for students currently working on larger projects (like a bachelor- or masterthesis). In the first section of our workshop, I will explain the importance of goal setting and I will introduce you to different planning tools (milestones, personal Kanban) and working techniques (timeblocking/timeboxing, Pomodoro technique). Afterwards, students will have the opportunity to first assess their present time management strategies and then they will create their own to-do lists and schedules during the workshop. There will be plenty of room for students’ questions throughout the whole workshop.
Until the second part of the workshop, students will have the chance to experiment with the techniques they learned during the first session and find out what works best for them. In our second meeting, we will talk about our experiences with time management in the previous week before I present strategies for avoiding distractions and procrastination. Our third meeting is all about maintaining a productive working attitude in the long term. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, a weekly plan with comments, and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project and/or their struggles with time management.

In this two-part online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of how to engage with secondary literature productively. This workshop is designed for students who are new to doing research – no previous experience is needed. In the first section of our workshop, I will explain what secondary literature is, why it is an essential component of academic writing, and where to find it. Students will then have the opportunity to get started with their research activities during the workshop and there will be plenty of room for students’ questions. For the second part of the workshop, students will bring along the secondary texts they found, as this section will teach them how to assess secondary texts concerning their credibility and usefulness for a specific research topic. Students will also learn how to write excerpts for secondary texts that will help them get an overview of the state of research on their research topic. Eventually, I will introduce students to different ways of referencing secondary literature in their own texts (without resorting to plagiarism), followed by several interactive writing exercises.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, an annotated bibliography on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages), and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

The aim of this two part online workshop, is to prepare students to write their first own articles for publication in academic journals. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for (master’s degree) students who are working on getting their research published. In the first section of our workshop, I will provide students with an overview of the academic publishing process: we will discuss how to find potential publication platforms, how to avoid predatory journals and gain an overview of the different kinds of academic journals that are out there. You will also learn more about the first steps of deciding on a journal and approaching editors.
Until the second part of the workshop, students have time to start writing their own article: together we will work on finding the most effective title for your article, writing a convincing abstract and creating a clear structure for your article. I will further provide advice on editing and proofreading and we will learn more about the peer review process.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in an additional piece of work, either an outline for a journal article (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Even highly qualified graduates now need to submit more applications before receiving an invitation to an interview, and finding suitable job offers has also become increasingly difficult.

This situation requires a reconsideration of application strategies and a willingness to explore approaches beyond the conventional ones.

Anyone applying for a job in a field with few current vacancies will not get very far with standard tips or AI-generated text suggestions. Applications that go beyond the usual information and create a stronger, more individual link between the applicant’s personality and the employer or field of activity tend to be more successful. However, this requires applicants to conduct more thorough research
and to integrate personal examples from their own background that are relevant to the desired employer in a clear, visible, and professional manner.

Once you have secured an interview, alternative forms of self-presentation can be particularly effective in standing out from other candidates and creating a personal connection with both the employer and the position.

In addition, the workshop provides essential foundational knowledge on the topic of “Applying for jobs - digitally and analogously.”

Goals: You will learn how to adapt your previous application strategy to the new circumstances and how to structure every step of the application process accordingly.

In order to participate, participants need a laptop or computer with audio/video functionality. They also need a stable internet connection.

In the series participants
• learn about the structures and requirements of the application process (with a stress on changes for the future)
• practically explore job search tools and the digital application features
• reflect their skills and competencies with a stress on so called "next skills" and the VUCA-World
• sharpen their profile and learn about potentials for optimization
• practice putting their skills and abilities into words (e.g. for employers etc)
• learn how to make active sourcing strategies work for them
• decide how they want to network in the future

The workshops build on each other but can also be attended separately. Thanks to the blended learning format, information is made available on the learning platform and those who have already attended one or more courses will be able to cross-reference learning content. Those who attend only one of the courses will receive relevant material and can continue to work actively with it.

Workshop I: „Application 4.0 – Tips and tricks for the professional use of digital application tools“
This workshop is the basic for the entire application process: we start with current tools of job research and the digital application process.

The workshop will explain most of the features of online application using practical examples - and practical exercises (with feedback).

This includes self-presentations (e. g. LinkedIn), knowledge about strategic job search, the use of online job portals - but also other features of so called "robot recruitment", such as preselection tools or time-delayed video interviews.

Content and topics:
• Basics of personnel selection: what do recruiters do why - and how can you make that work for you
• Successful use of digital selection and preselection tools
• Optimize your application documents for ATS
• ChatGPT: what can I use AI for - and how?
• Other online tools (virtual assessment, delayed video interview, etc. )

Goals:
You get to know different recruiting tools and know how to use them for your benefit.

Workshop II: „Future Skills – competences for your professional future“
Future Skills are often directly reduced to digital skills, which – as important as they are – only represent one side of the Future Skill coin.

In the context of a VUCA world, the focus of employers shifts from "what?" to a combination of "how?" and "why?". It is no longer the specialist knowledge that plays the main role, but methods and, above all, meaningful values and attitudes that are becoming increasingly important.

Complicated? No - because as a Student or PhD or PostDoc you automatically use and train a lot of that so called "next skills".

In the workshop you will discover which next skills you already use - and how you can convince others (e.g. employers) of your future-skills-profile.

Goals:
You identify all moments in your studies (or work as a researcher) where you use so called "future skills". You assess the relevance of these skills on the basis of job descriptions and can give connect job requirements with specific examples from your skill-profile.

In the series participants
• learn about the structures and requirements of the application process (with a stress on changes for the future)
• practically explore job search tools and the digital application features
• reflect their skills and competencies with a stress on so called "next skills" and the VUCA-World
• sharpen their profile and learn about potentials for optimization
• practice putting their skills and abilities into words (e.g. for employers etc)
• learn how to make active sourcing strategies work for them
• decide how they want to network in the future

The workshops build on each other but can also be attended separately. Thanks to the blended learning format, information is made available on the learning platform and those who have already attended one or more courses will be able to cross-reference learning content. Those who attend only one of the courses will receive relevant material and can continue to work actively with it.

Workshop III: „Be self-confident in job interviews - how to convince others and negotiate your wishes“
There are no real "rules" for job interviews - it depends on the company or organization you have been applying at, and the person responsible for the recruiting.

Nevertheless some basic and overall preparation is helpful. This workshop will support you by:
• Optimizing your self-presentation for job interviews (and similar situations)
• Negotiating relevant parameters and conditions of a working contract
• Developing a strategy for answering questions (without using supposedly "best answers", because these are an invention of guidebook-authors)
• Adjusting to different interview settings (online and offline)

We will focus on your individual preparation for job interviews - related to your filed of work, your employer etc. You might change your perspective on interviews by receiving feedback and sharing your experience with other participants. This strengthens your own ability to act on your own.

Goals:
You gain self-confidence for your self-presentations (various settings) and develop convincing examples for proof (of your skills), derived from your profile.

So you can overcome communicative challenges of self-presentation in job interviews and better negotiate your contract.

This in-person workshop is designed to support students with their communication and presentation skills. Students will get a concise overview of the basics of rhetoric; afterwards, they can immediately apply what they learned to their current projects. We will talk about the common structures for speeches and presentations and practice organizing your content efficiently. You will also learn more about how to handle stage fright and nervousness and you will practice managing discussions with the audience. During the workshop, participants are expected to do a short presentation on a research topic of their choice. This workshop is particularly useful for students who are preparing for their first presentation at the university and/or who are preparing for an oral exam. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a written outline for a research presentation and a self-reflection on the entire seminar.

If writing an academic paper feels daunting and lonely and you struggle to motivate yourself to start writing alone at home, this workshop is for you! This class provides a supportive environment for working on your own writing projects. We will meet on four consecutive afternoons to motivate each other and write together. Each session will start with a short update on where we are right now and what we are planning to do this afternoon, followed by an hour of uninterrupted writing time, and end with a discussion on what we achieved during the independent working phase. During the whole session, the instructor is available for writing advice and feedback. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Wie kann ich meine deutschen Bandwurmsätze in einen knackigen, englischsprachigen Fachtext verwandeln? Wie kann ich typisch „denglische“ Formulierungen vermeiden? Und was war nochmal der Unterschied zwischen „affect“ und „effect“?
Solche (und ähnliche) Fragen werden in diesem online Workshop geklärt, bei dem Studierende sich grundlegende Kenntnisse über wissenschaftliches Schreiben in englischer Sprache verschaffen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Verfassen von Hausarbeiten, je nach Wunsch der Teilnehmenden kann jedoch zusätzlich auch auf andere Textsorten wie beispielsweise Versuchsprotokolle, Fallberichte o.ä. eingegangen werden. Obwohl der Workshop grundsätzlich allen Interessierten offensteht, ist er speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Studierender mit Deutsch als Muttersprache abgestimmt. Alle Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Für Studierende, die noch kein konkretes Schreibprojekt in Angriff nehmen wollen, werde ich allgemeine Übungen zur Verfügung stellen. Im Workshop wechseln sich Inputs von Seiten der Dozentin mit interaktiven Schreibübungen in Einzelarbeit ab, deren individuelle Ergebnisse im Austausch zu zweit reflektiert werden. Am Ende jeder Arbeitsphase werden in der Gesamtgruppe die Ergebnisse formuliert sowie noch offene Fragen geklärt.
Im Anschluss an das Webinar müssen diejenigen Studierenden, die 1 CP/ECTS für die Teilnahme erhalten wollen, eine zusätzliche schriftliche Arbeit verfassen, entweder ein Exposé (für eine Hausarbeit) oder einen Essay (eine kurze, argumentative Auseinandersetzung mit einer selbstgewählten, wissenschaftlichen Fragestellung) (ca. 3 Seiten) sowie eine Selbstreflexion zum gesamten Seminar (1-2 Seiten).
Zudem biete ich nach Ende der Veranstaltung für alle Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit einer online Einzelberatung entweder telefonisch, per Mail oder ebenfalls als Zoom Meeting, um offene Fragen zu einem aktuellen Schreibprojekt zu klären.

Many seminars at German universities require their students to write term papers. However, what your lecturer here in Germany expects from you might be very different from what is common elsewhere.
In this online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of academic writing for German universities. At the center of this seminar is the format of the Hausarbeit (term paper). After I have introduced you to the formal criteria of German term papers, all participants will learn how to develop own research questions, how to create an outline for your term paper and how to kick off the writing process. All participants have the opportunity to work on their own topics. For students who do not yet want to tackle a specific writing project, I will provide exercises that are more general. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it is specifically tailored to the needs of international students. In the workshop, inputs from the lecturer alternate with interactive writing exercises and there will be plenty of room for individual questions.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, either an exposé (for a term paper) or an essay (a short, argumentative discussion of a scholarly research question) (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

This online workshop is designed to support students with editing and revising their term papers and/or bachelor/mastertheses. Students will get a concise overview of editing techniques that they can immediately apply to their current writing projects. We will talk about the common structures for term papers and practice streamlining your line of argumentation. You will also learn more about how to avoid plagiarism in their paper and get some practice in proofreading. At the center of this workshop are the students’ own writing projects that will be discussed in small groups. There will be plenty of room for individual questions throughout the whole workshop.

After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: an outline for a term paper (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions.

In this two-part online workshop, students will gain a basic understanding of how to engage with secondary literature productively. This workshop is designed for students who are new to doing research – no previous experience is needed. In the first section of our workshop, I will explain what secondary literature is, why it is an essential component of academic writing, and where to find it. Students will then have the opportunity to get started with their research activities during the workshop and there will be plenty of room for students’ questions. For the second part of the workshop, students will bring along the secondary texts they found, as this section will teach them how to assess secondary texts concerning their credibility and usefulness for a specific research topic. Students will also learn how to write excerpts for secondary texts that will help them get an overview of the state of research on their research topic. Eventually, I will introduce students to different ways of referencing secondary literature in their own texts (without resorting to plagiarism), followed by several interactive writing exercises.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, an annotated bibliography on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages), and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

The aim of this two part online workshop, is to prepare students to write their first own articles for publication in academic journals. While the workshop is open to anyone who is interested, it will be particularly useful for (master’s degree) students who are working on getting their research published. In the first section of our workshop, I will provide students with an overview of the academic publishing process: we will discuss how to find potential publication platforms, how to avoid predatory journals and gain an overview of the different kinds of academic journals that are out there. You will also learn more about the first steps of deciding on a journal and approaching editors.
Until the second part of the workshop, students have time to start writing their own article: together we will work on finding the most effective title for your article, writing a convincing abstract and creating a clear structure for your article. I will further provide advice on editing and proofreading and we will learn more about the peer review process.
After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in an additional piece of work, either an outline for a journal article (3 pages) or a scholarly essay on a research topic of your choice (approx. 3 pages) and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).
Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project.

In contrast to other classes that invite you to pay attention to what you learn, this seven-week-long course encourages you to focus on how you learn. Inspired by agile methods of project work, this class emphasizes self-directed learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and self-reflection. You will set your own goals that can either be connected to specific study content (e.g., preparing for an upcoming exam) or more general goals related to your personal development (e.g., feeling more confident when contributing to classroom discussions in seminars). While there are three sessions with the whole course where the instructor will share some advice, you will spend most of your time in a small learning group of 3 to 4 people. Due to this format, the workshop requires a high degree of reliability, an openness to trying out interdisciplinary working strategies, and a willingness to engage in teamwork with other students. Together with your group, you will acquire learning strategies to help you achieve your goals and have the opportunity to share your experiences and gain insights from your fellow students. These group sessions, along with your individual work, will help you to practice self-reflection, by tracking your learning progress, identifying areas for improvement, and trying out different learning approaches. Additionally, the instructor is available for individual counseling sessions upon request. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a learning diary and a self-reflection paper.

Themes

• focussing on different areas of life
• Formulate professional and personal goals
• Utilising findings from brain research
• Supporting your own creative potential
• Shaping decision-making processes

What are my individual strengths and skills and in which working environment can I utilise them optimally? What ideas do I have about life and how do these fit in with my goals?

Convictions about what makes sense in curiculum vitae, what is "in demand" and concerns about the future can sometimes block us from recognising and using our own potential. If we are enthusiastic about what we do, we will be able to perform well in the long term.

This seminar gives you the opportunity to look at your own goals and how to realise them. Psychological models can help us to better understand and utilise our own motivation. In addition, findings from brain research can be put to practical use in order to clarify decisions and optimise the use of one's own energy.

How it works: The special thing about this compact seminar is that participants work directly and individually on their specific situations, questions and ideas. The small group size allows us to respond flexibly to the individual participants. The questions of personal goals and professional orientation while at the same time balancing one's own abilities and needs take centre stage.

Different methods from supervision and coaching (transactional analytical and systemic approach) are used as required.

The online format also includes phases of plenary, individual and partner work, as well as generous breaks. Experience from the last semester has shown that creative, committed and clarifying processes as well as a pleasant group cohesion are also possible here.

In this three-part online workshop, students will learn basic strategies and techniques for time- and self-management. While the workshop is open to anyone interested, it will be particularly useful for students currently working on larger projects (like a bachelor- or masterthesis). In the first section of our workshop, I will explain the importance of goal setting and I will introduce you to different planning tools (milestones, personal Kanban) and working techniques (timeblocking/timeboxing, Pomodoro technique). Afterwards, students will have the opportunity to first assess their present time management strategies and then they will create their own to-do lists and schedules during the workshop. There will be plenty of room for students’ questions throughout the whole workshop.
Until the second part of the workshop, students will have the chance to experiment with the techniques they learned during the first session and find out what works best for them. In our second meeting, we will talk about our experiences with time management in the previous week before I present strategies for avoiding distractions and procrastination. Our third meeting is all about maintaining a productive working attitude in the long term. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, a weekly plan with comments, and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project and/or their struggles with time management.

In everyday (work) life we often use skills automatically, without being aware of it. People often do not remember here they learned these competencies or do not assess their skills – and therefor it is difficult for them to denominate them or describe their potential.

In a job (or for your time as a student) self-awareness and knowledge of one's own strengths are necessary in order to:
• shape your profile
• learn, what kind of work environment might be beneficial for you
• develop strategies for future plans
• negotiate conditions (for jobs etc)

In the joint workshop and in the individual preparation phase, we use biographical exercises, specific ability tools, a personality tool and a cooperative negotiation model.

There will be room for exchange and feedback.

Goals:
The participants

Whether it is coping with ‘Peak Oil’, meeting the challenge of climate change, helping farmers in poorer countries through fair trade, or finding ways to keep discarded products out of the landfills, sustainability issues are the biggest challenges facing businesses. The course shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing. The systematic, step-by-step approach of sustainability marketing involves: an analysis of socio-ecological priorities to complement conventional consumer and market research; an integration of ethical values into marketing strategy; the development of sustainability marketing strategies; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix of the ‘4 Cs’ (Customer Solutions, Communications, Customer Cost, Convenience) to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented ‘4 Ps’; and finally an analysis how innovation and marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society. The course is ideally suited to both students and practitioners at many different levels and disciplines, including marketing, innovation, CSR, sustainability and environmental management.

This seminar starts as an online workshop on the announced date. You will receive additional details on the event in advance by email via StudIP.
After signing up for the seminar on Stud.IP, please confirm your attendance by sending an email to stwkprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de (please mention your name, matriculation number and the name/number of this seminar in your mail).
In this three-part online workshop, students will learn basic strategies and techniques for time- and self-management. While the workshop is open to anyone interested, it will be particularly useful for students currently working on larger projects (like a bachelor- or masterthesis). In the first section of our workshop, I will explain the importance of goal setting and I will introduce you to different planning tools (milestones, personal Kanban) and working techniques (timeblocking/timeboxing, Pomodoro technique). Afterwards, students will have the opportunity to first assess their present time management strategies and then they will create their own to-do lists and schedules during the workshop. There will be plenty of room for students’ questions throughout the whole workshop.
Until the second part of the workshop, students will have the chance to experiment with the techniques they learned during the first session and find out what works best for them. In our second meeting, we will talk about our experiences with time management in the previous week before I present strategies for avoiding distractions and procrastination. Our third meeting is all about maintaining a productive working attitude in the long term. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 1 CP/ECTS for participation must write an additional piece of work, a weekly plan with comments, and a self-reflection on the entire seminar (1-2 pages).

Additionally, after the end of the seminar, all participants have the opportunity to make an individual consultation appointment with me either by telephone, e-mail or as a zoom meeting to clarify open questions about a current writing project and/or their struggles with time management.

In contrast to other classes that invite you to pay attention to what you learn, this seven-week-long course encourages you to focus on how you learn. Inspired by agile methods of project work, this class emphasizes self-directed learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and self-reflection. You will set your own goals that can either be connected to specific study content (e.g., preparing for an upcoming exam) or more general goals related to your personal development (e.g., feeling more confident when contributing to classroom discussions in seminars). While there are three sessions with the whole course where the instructor will share some advice, you will spend most of your time in a small learning group of 3 to 4 people. Due to this format, the workshop requires a high degree of reliability, an openness to trying out interdisciplinary working strategies, and a willingness to engage in teamwork with other students. Together with your group, you will acquire learning strategies to help you achieve your goals and have the opportunity to share your experiences and gain insights from your fellow students. These group sessions, along with your individual work, will help you to practice self-reflection, by tracking your learning progress, identifying areas for improvement, and trying out different learning approaches. Additionally, the instructor is available for individual counseling sessions upon request. After the workshop, those students who want to receive 3 CP/ECTS for participation must hand in additional pieces of work: a learning diary and a self-reflection paper.

The course offers a systematic and application-oriented introduction to qualitative methods in empirical social research. To this end, the course begins by introducing the theoretical foundations of qualitative science, research logic, and general principles of qualitative social research. After an overview of the stages of the qualitative research process, this is then explored theoretically and through practical exercises using various data collection and analysis methods: Important qualitative data collection methods and selected analysis methods (e.g., grounded theory, qualitative content analysis) are covered. In the exercises, students will gain and reflect on their first practical experiences with, among other things, guideline construction and various interpretation methods. Questions of case selection, field access and research ethics, generalizability and typology will be addressed.
This course requires successful completion of the Methods II lecture.

Social network analysis (SNA) examines relationships between entities within a social system. These entities can be individuals, but also e.g. companies or countries. Social network analysis is thus a relational sociological perspective. The course begins with explaining the basic concepts and demonstrating possible applications. For example, the concept of “ethnic boundaries” or “social assimilation,” which is widespread in integration research, can be operationalized and examined using network analysis methods based on appropriate data. Subsequently, concepts and statistical methods will be explored in greater depth and practical application using various packages within the R software.

Prerequisites: A Wi-Fi-enabled laptop and a University of Bremen e-mail account for eduroam are required for the course. Tablets won’t work. An openness to quantification and formal representation is required, basic knowledge on binary logistic regression is helpful. Install R first, R Studio afterwards.

Credits: 6 CP only! Students write a 4000 words paper (+/-10%, excluding 15 words abstract) in which they apply one of the network methods we discussed in the course. Just use a standard format, times new roman, 1.5 rows.

This course introduces you to the wondrous world of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Structural Equation Models are a very versatile tool for social scientists, as they combine measurement of complex concepts (e.g., values or attitudes) with the estimation of structural effects. The course focuses on the statistical foundation of this approach, the estimation of SEMs (using R-package lavaan), as well as the interpretation of SEM-results. We cover topics such as latent variable modelling, direct and indirect effect estimation, multigroup analysis and model fit evaluation. Basics background knowledge in statistics (e.g., descriptive statistics, null-hypothesis testing, and regression analysis) is required.

By the end of this course you will…
• …be able to specify, estimate and interpret a CFA and SEM models, ranging from simple models to more complex ones (including multigroup models)
• …understand a variety of fit indices used to evaluate SEM models
• …have a better understanding of different approaches for measuring latent variables
• …have the necessary knowledge to separate direct from indirect effects in explanation models

Key topics covered
Over the course of five modules (one per lecture day), a variety of topics that are fundamental to SEM are discussed.

Module 1 covers the very basics of SEM. We start from questions such as: What is the difference between SEM and more conventional multivariate techniques, such as regression analysis? What are the advantages and specificities of the SEM approach? Module 1 introduces important terminology and notation systems, and provides an overview of different models in the SEM tradition.

In Module 2, we highlight a particular branch within the SEM family, namely latent variable models / measurement models / confirmatory factor analysis. This application allows us to discuss the issues of model specification, parameter estimation, model restrictions and identification in greater depth.

Module 3 provides three different approaches to SEM estimation that each imply a different epistemological position. The wide variety of procedures to evaluate model fit is reviewed and the assumptions of the SEM model are discussed.

Module 4 focuses on a second branch of the SEM approach: structural models. We cover examples such as path analysis, structural regression models and MIMIC models.

Finally, Module 5 introduces the concept of multigroup SEM, and illustrates how this approach can be used in comparative research (including tests for measurement equivalence).

Course dates: 21 & 22 May; 4 & 5 June; 19 June

Research about sustainability concerns macro-, meso- and micro-phenomena and their interdependency, many of them of interdisciplinary interest. Das Seminar is rooted in sociology and in psychology, adding interdisciplinary as topics demand from legislation, medicine, and technology assessment research.
Subject matters of this training seminar are, after an introductory step, issues of sociological and psychological concern in the wake of the digital transformation, e.g.: What changes in our attention, memory and social cognition due to internet-use? How does the internet change childhood and adolescence, and how does that impact on developmental issues? Does digitalisation promote equality, or what are new concerns of a digital divide? Which work places are currently foremost endangered by the digital transformation, and what kind of new work opportunities are emerging instead? Which laws protect against unwanted side effects of the digitalisation? When we consider phenomena such as social media, gaming, porn-consumption, the manosphere, etc., what are psychological and medical health concerns, and what is behind “buzz word diagnosis”? Overall, what does “digital literacy” mean in light of the above? Up-to-date interdisciplinary findings help to explore those questions in search of answers. During the start phase, the concrete selection of topics to work on, related to the participant’s interests, will be an important step.
In this training seminar, socially sustainably methods of participation and democratic interaction based on TCI (Cohn) are used while working on selected topics. In an introductory workshop, the modus operandi and basic knowledge is conveyed, and participants choose a topic they would like to work on in teams. Furthermore, student’s teams develop workshop parts about their topics, so that it can be understood and explored together. Theoretical as well as practical insights become tangible through the setting. Upfront reading, short inputs and guided activities in small groups interlock beneficially for participants and the group. The lecturer provides methods and literature, offers practice examples, gives counsel to student’s teams in their preparations, and a differentiated feedback.
Requirement: Willingness of active participation, reflection and interaction are important for participation in this training setting over 7 workshops of 3 hours each. For BA Sociology participants, the Module W1 is studied in 2 stand-alone seminars. It can be complemented with another seminar beside, or with a second seminar of “Sociology meets Psychology”.
Recommended for 3rd semester BA students of Sociology before their internship and thesis, but explicitly open from the 1st semester. Open to Master and Erasmus students, and as capacity allows, to students from other faculties. The training group is limited to 20 participants.
2 SWS: Fortnightly, starting in the 2nd week of the term, Tuesdays 4-7 pm; 3 hours (s.t.). Please register reliably via Stud.IP for your participation, thank you.
Requirements for credit points: 6 CP
Active participation, preparation of an interactive workshop part and written documentary in a small group.
