Seminar (Teaching)

Dates:
weekly (starts in week: 1) Wed. 10:00 - 12:00 FVG W0090 (2 Teaching hours per week)

We will read texts that theorize the emergence of social inequality and discuss over all the role that is ascribed to labour market institutions and structures. Hence, we will discuss labour law, collective bargaining and vocational training systems and their effects on inequality. Furthermore we will analyse strategies of relevant actors, namely trade unions but also employers, respectively multi-national companies. Our focus will not be limited to Europe, but include countries around the World.

08-350-M6-4Healthcare and Development Aid (englisch) (in English)

Seminar (Teaching)

Dates:
weekly (starts in week: 1) Thu. 16:00 - 18:00 OEG 3790 (2 Teaching hours per week)

By combining the literature on development aid and healthcare, this seminar is designed to provide essential understanding of the dynamics in both fields. We will explore the theory and meaning of development, and its relation to healthcare on the example of programs fighting communicable and non-communicable diseases. The course provides insights into the work of the World Health Organization (WHO), USAID, German foreign aid, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and others in sub-Saharan Africa, South East Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. By placing the activities of these organizations in a broader context of the United Nations Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals, we will discuss current state and future directions of healthcare interventions. By the end of the course, the participants are expected to be able to critically reflect on actor constellations and power relations, as well as the ‘achievements’ and challenges of the development assistance to healthcare.

08-zsp-GS-1018Introduction to feminist methods and methodology (in English)
Einführung in die feministische Erkenntnistheorie und Methoden

Seminar (Teaching)
ECTS: 3

Dates:
weekly (starts in week: 1) Mon. 14:00 - 16:00 GW2 B1216 (2 Teaching hours per week)

A recurring question from my students concerns the distinctiveness of feminist approaches to methods, methodologies, and epistemologies. This key question is posed in different ways: Is there a specifically feminist method? Are there feminist methodologies and epistemologies, or simply feminist approaches to these? Answers to these questions are far from straightforward given the continually evolving nature of feminist reflections on the methodological and epistemological dimensions and dilemmas of research. This course attempts to address these questions by tracing recent developments in this area.
The seminar demonstrates the many ways in which feminist researchers continue to challenge, develop, reflect and strive for robust practices and warrantable knowledges. This is configured through; inter alia, notions of voice, positionality, representation, intersectional understandings, strong objectivity and feminist empiricism. A large part of the course will be devoted to methods and their application in praxis. Students should have basic knowledge of research methods (at least done the course introduction to research methods). The course language is English, however, depending upon composition and request of students.
