General Studies - FB 08 Sozialwissenschaften

I. General Studies - Fachergänzende Studien des FB 08 (Sozialwissenschaften)

Die fachergänzenden Studien (General Studies) sind Bestandteil des wissenschaftlichen Studiums, die ca. 25 % des Bachelorstudiums umfassen. Dieser Bereich bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit, über das Fachstudium hinaus, Veranstaltungen zu besuchen, die Ihren Interessen entsprechen. Zudem können Sie ein berufliches Profil bilden, indem Sie Fach- und Methodenkenntnisse anderer Fachrichtungen erwerben. Ihre persönliche Expertise kann Ihnen den Zugang zu einem Masterstudium oder den Berufseinstieg erleichtern. Außerdem können Sie die fachergänzenden Studien nutzen, um Ihre Fremdspachenkenntnisse auszubauen und zu vertiefen.

Die fachergänzenden Studien der zentralen Einrichtungen der Universität Bremen (Studierwerkstatt, International Office, Fremdsprachenzentrum, BRIDGE Existensgründungsinitiative der Hochschulen, eGeneral Studies, Career Center) sind im Veranstaltungsverzeichnis an oberster Stelle aufgeführt.

Einen Überblick der fachergänzenden Studien des FB 08 (Sozialwissenschaften) erhalten Sie auf dieser Seite. Zum Teil ergänzt durch Studienangebote der zentralen Einrichtungen.

Die Bachelorstudiengänge des FB 08 (Sozialwissenschaften) legen in ihren Prüfungsordnungen fest, in welchem Umfang fachergänzende Studien (General Studies) im Wahl- und Wahlpflichtbereich anerkannt werden. Bitte lesen Sie Ihre Prüfungsordnung genau. Und beachten Sie den Studienplan Ihres Studiengangs.

Doch wie entscheiden Sie, welche fachergänzenden Studien für Sie richtig und sinnvoll sind? Woran orientieren Sie sich dabei?

Bevor Sie darüber nachdenken, sollten Sie sich folgende Fragen beantworten: Welche Ziele will ich im Studium und darüber hinaus erreichen? Wie kann ich die Anforderungen im Fachstudium erfolgreich bewaeltigen? Was will ich nach dem Studium beruflich machen? Wo möchte ich mich beruflich engagieren? Wie kann ich erkennen, was meine Stärken sind? Wie finde ich heraus, ob ich für meinen Traumberuf ausreichend qualifiziert bin? Was muss ich wissen, um ein anspruchsvolles Praktikum zu finden? Wie kann ich herausfinden, was in einem Praktikum von mir erwartet wird?

Wenn Sie sich ernsthaft mit diesen Fragen beschäftigen, werden Sie merken, dass Sie einen Lernprozess beginnen, den Sie selbst aktiv steuern. Sie übernehmen die Verantwortung für Ihre berufliche Zukunft. Sie sortieren das Studienangebot der Universität Bremen bzw. des FB 08 nach ihren eigenen Kriterien – zumindest für den Bereich fachergänzende Studien (General Studies).

Das Zentrum Studium und Praxis des FB 08 unterstützt Sie gerne bei der Beantwortung Ihrer Fragen. Nehmen Sie dafür bitte die Sprechzeiten wahr.

Darüber hinaus können Sie in der Stud.IP Dauerveranstaltung \"PraxisForum FB 8\" aktuelle Praktikumsangebote, Ausschreibungen für Hilfskraftstellen und Stellenangebote für Absolvent(en)innen herunterladen. Die Absolventenstellen sollen aufzeigen, wo Sozialwissenschaftler/innen gesucht werden. Sie dienen als Orientierung für die Klärung Ihrer beruflichen Vorstellungen.

Sie sind herzlich eingeladen, sich in die Dauerveranstaltung als Autoren einzutragen.

Hausarbeiten können in Deutsch oder Englisch eingereicht werden

Seminar
ECTS: 6

Termine:
wöchentlich Mo 14:00 - 16:00 GW2 B2890 (2 SWS)

Cities have long been an important setting of encounter and exchange between different religions, ethnic communities, social classes, and political movements. At the same time, the major currents of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – capitalism and revolution, religious revival and secularism, colonialism and nationalism – exerted a formidable pressure on the modern city as a stie of encounter. As new political movements emerged and rigid collective identities coalesced, the city became the arena in which new rivalries and antagonisms were played out. Looking at different cities along the shores of the Mediterranean, this seminar explores the various, often conflicting dynamics of coexistence, protest, and violence in the modern age.

08-28-HIS-7.6.2Cities of Tomorrow: The Global History of Urban Planning in the Twentieth Century (in englischer Sprache)

Seminar
ECTS: 12

Termine:
wöchentlich Mi 12:00 - 14:00 (2 SWS) Online

In historiography, the twentieth century is often regarded as a century of planning. This is probably best expressed by urban planning which has become a standard practice and an important political field in all parts of the globe. This seminar explores the global history of urban planning in the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the close link between social and urban planning. Our central question will be how (utopian) ideas of social development have interacted with urban planning visions. A special focus in this seminar will be on colonial urban planning in Africa and Asia.

Participants can take the examination in either German or English.

Wahlpflicht, 1 Vorlesung und 1 Seminar, 12CP
VAKTitel der VeranstaltungDozentIn
08-31-2-M5c-1What is Culture and How do we Study it? (in englischer Sprache)
ONLINE

Vorlesung
ECTS: 6

Termine:
wöchentlich Mi 12:00 - 14:00

This series of interconnected lectures serves as an introduction to social theory and cultural criticism. Themes include: definitions of culture, theories of identity; modernity and postmodernity; language, semiotics and (post)structuralism; cultural memory; psychoanalysis; race, ethnicity and imperial legacies; Marxist critiques; culture and gender; and study of culture in the age of globalization.

This is an interdisciplinary course bridging various fields of inquiry including anthropology, sociology, history, literary studies and linguistics. It is open to students from all departments and is intended to be useful for a wide range of potential academic paths.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
- apply a range of theories and methods of analysis to works of literature, film, art, and other cultural phenomena;
- engage in informed discussions on the foundations of cultural theory, including ideas first voiced by Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, Roland Barthes, Sigmund Freud, Linda Hutcheon, Arjun Appadurai and others;
- critically discuss the concept(s) of culture as applied to terms such as “mass” culture, “high” culture”, “popular” culture and “national” cultures.

Course Language: Lectures will be given mainly in English; questions and student contributions are very welcome in German. Accompanying texts can be in German or English. Final assessment (Klausur / Written Examination) may be completed in German or English.

N.B. Second semester IES students opting for Module M5c should choose two units: the lecture and either of the two seminars listed under the module.

08-31-2-M5c-2Introduction to Cultural Studies: Identity, Society, Narrative (in englischer Sprache)
ONLINE

Seminar
ECTS: 6

Termine:
wöchentlich Fr 10:00 - 12:00 Externer Ort: Zoom

This seminar series explores foundational themes in cultural studies through constructive discussion of selected case studies. Emphasis is placed on contemporary European identities, modern nationhood, gender, and memory. The guiding question throughout the semester is: in what ways do products of culture (de)construct narratives of identity and belonging? Participants will become familiarized with key theories of social identity and literary criticism, as well as applying those theories to diverse branches of culture, from canonical literature to European cinema to contemporary music videos.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
- perform in-depth critical analysis of literary texts, films, visual artworks, etc., studying them as cultural artefacts embedded in national, European and global societies;
- engage in theoretically informed discussions about the differences between artforms (poetry, prose, film, etc.) as products of (European) culture;
- demonstrate knowledge of key theories of culture, including literary theory, nationalism theory, postcolonial theory, etc.

The course seeks to familiarize students with the main theories, concepts and methods used in International Political Economy (IPE) as a true inter-discipline that is situated somewhere between International Relations, Political Economy, Economic Geography and Economics. Based on the core question(s) of “who gets what, why, when, where and how?” it tackles the interactions and mutual dependencies of political and economic dynamics on an international scale. After a critical assessment of major IPE approaches, we move on to key topics like trade, production, finance and development. Towards the end of the first seminar block we will also deal with the two hot topics of environmental policies, data and property rights. Combining a broad overview with in-depth applications of common theories and established research methods (single-case studies, comparative studies, regression analyses, QCA or Event History Analysis), the course enables students to analytically tackle central problems of the current international economic system and the variegated ways in which states, firms and societies interact.

Students can obtain either 6 or 9 credits. For details on the seminar requirements see the program website (https://www.uni-bremen.de/mair/program).

Students from other programs may participate with the instructor’s prior consent.

The state is widely considered to be the most important actor in international governance and, at the same time, a key concept in the social sciences. In recent years it has been argued that profound transformations are taking place which challenge the very foundations of the externally and internally sovereign modern state. The main tendencies of these transformations are the emergence of increasingly autonomous public and private institutions at the international level and the emergence of semiautonomous functional subsystems and powerful private actors at the domestic level. International governance thus takes place in a complex multi-level system with a variety of public and private actors. This course analyzes these developments and their consequences for modern governance, both theoretically and empirically, by looking at concrete examples in greater detail.

Students can obtain either 6 or 9 credits. For details on the seminar requirements see the program website (https://www.uni-bremen.de/mair/program).

The seminar supports MA International Relations students in the process of conceiving, designing, and writing the thesis, complementing the input they receive from their supervisors. The thesis seminar consists of three workshops: In the first workshop students present their thesis topic and initial ideas about how to tackle it. The second workshop gives students an opportunity to present and discuss their fully elaborated research design, i.e. precise statements of their (final) research question, its (normative, scientific, or practical) relevance, its place in the literature, their working hypothesis (or hypotheses), the role of theory in their study, the methods they are employing and the reasons for choosing them, the data they are using, etc. Finally, the third workshop is devoted to discussing results of students’ investigation on the basis of a “writing sample”, i.e. a draft of the introduction or of a key chapter. In each workshop students receive feedback from the instructors and their fellow students helping them to identify problems in their arguments and possible solutions to these problems.

Students can obtain 3 credits. For details on the seminar requirements see the program website (https://www.uni-bremen.de/mair/program).

The seminar connects social theory with the study of the international, building on foundations laid in “Modern Social Theory” and “Actors, Institutions, and Global Governance”. We will investigate how current theoretical debates and empirical research in International Relations are informed by social theories (practice theory, Marxism, dependency, feminism, post-colonial theory…), discuss key concepts of IR (statehood, imperialism, war, inequality, governance, capitalism…), and analyse concrete issues of global politics (climate change, development aid, the rise of China, global social policy, global trade…). The syllabus will be discussed in the first session and students are invited to bring their own suggestions. Different didactic approaches will be combined to encourage diverse and equitable participation and create a good working environment. In sum, the seminar has three overall aims: enabling students to critically reflect on the limits and potentials of established IR paradigms; understanding the value of using classic social theory in the study of international relations; and learning to apply theoretical lenses to empirical phenomena.

This course aims to provide an overview and understanding of some of the more commonly applied statistical techniques. It will cover methods for both continuous data as well as categorical data. The standard setting will be the supervised learning situation in which there is one target variable, the behavior of which is to be predicted by some other variables. We will briefly revise the essentials of confirmatory statistics, including hypothesis testing, significance and power, as well as the ideas behind data reduction, prediction and explanation. The course is “advanced” in terms of concepts and methods, rather than statistical theory or algebra. The focus will be on real-world applications, discussing the assumptions, limitations and interpretations of a wide range of statistical techniques.

Students can obtain either 6 or 9 credits. For details on the seminar requirements see the program website (https://www.uni-bremen.de/mair/program).

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Di 12:00 - 14:00 (2 SWS)

Particularly in the global South, international organisations wield great influence upon political, social and economic arrangements. We will seek to understand how international organisations interpret and implement their mandates, and which results of their work may be observed. We will discuss their relationships with powerful and less powerful states and governments, shed light on their legitimacy and means of power, and see how they relate to societal actors. Thematically, the class will focus on development cooperation and welfare, as well as issue of security politics such as peacekeeping and peacebuilding. The class aims at providing a general overview on contemporary research on international organisations, an understanding of the internal dynamics of international bureaucracies, and seeks to inspire critical perspectives on power relationships in world society.

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Di 14:00 - 16:00 (2 SWS)

In this class, we will study the politics of human and fundamental rights in the global governance of digital tech – this year with a particular emphasis on governing artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology that affects how we live, work, understand the world, even conduct our public affairs (think of judges relying on algorithms to decide about keeping defendants in jail or facial recognition technology that can identify people with 'dangerous' feelings). This seminar will prepare you to analyze ongoing developments in AI and its governance from a political science perspective, while also touching on neighboring disciplines like law and communications.

This class will be conducted in close collaboration with partners at other European universities: Lecturers and students from Maastricht University (YUFE, YERUN), University of Padova, the University of Salerno and Dublin City University (YERUN) will join us in several of our meetings. Together with these partners, we examine how AI can be globally governed for the realization of human rights in the digital age. This class allows you to catch up on AI as a technology through an integrated digital learning module, making it suitable for any level of prior tech knowledge.

This class will be taught remotely through weekly meetings on Zoom. Options for examination include presentations, blog posts and term papers.

ECTS: 3/6

With Fridays for Future the climate protests have reached a new dimension. The protests, which began with the exemplary action of Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg, have since developed into a global protest movement. They have successfully established climate change as an urgent problem on the national and international political agenda. In contrast to earlier climate change protests they were able to mobilize large numbers of participatns.
Surveys of protesters in several countries have provided reliable information about the socio-demographic background and the motives of people participating in the Fridays for Future protests – at least for a handful of countries in the Global North. But climate change protests happened in many countries around the globe.
In the course we will try to tackle this research gap by developing a number of country studies about climate change protests, ideally in countries of the Global North and the Global South. A relevant part of the course will therefore involve independent research work on climate change protests based on media reports and activists’ documents from countries other than Germany.

This interactive seminar will introduce students to two concepts that are regularly heard across social science disciplines today: the ‘reproducibility crisis’ and the ‘open science movement’. We will start with a review of the events and discussions that cause many scholars, policymakers and the public to have negative views of science, or imagine it is in a crisis. We will start with science in general, and then focus on the social sciences including psychology, political science and sociology; and interdisciplinary related fields. Next, we will discuss empirical evidence supporting and opposing a crisis in the social sciences. Midway the course will shift focus to the various movements to change science. This review of the open science movement will eventually shift to how students can practice open science, or what we could simply call ‘better science’. The course requires a final project in which the students must develop a way to make a contribution to science now.

Learning objectives

Learn the history of the “reproducibility crisis” and “open science movement”
Understand “Questionable Research Practices” – such as p-hacking, HARKing, publication bias, status seeking and unintentional fraud
Learn the tools for investigating reproducibility – such as meta-analysis, p-curves and replication
Learn how to make transparent and reproducible workflows
Introduction to tools of open science – such as markdown, Zotero, interactive apps and collaboration platforms
Learn how to make a contribution to social science now, without the need for publishing an academic journal article
Course credit: Final project - written exam

Students will develop a final project in which they make a contribution to science. This can be constructing or editing online content (Wikipedia or blogging for example), engaging in a replication of a given study, starting a public outreach or media campaign, organizing a public debate or anything else creative that they develop with the supervision of the instructor. The result of their work must be submitted in a final written "exam" describing what they did and how it fulfills the criteria.

In the seminar „Who cares?! Comparative perspectives on care, gender and migration”, we examine the ever-more relevant topic of transnational care work and its consequences for global inequalities as well as for individual lives. We focus specifically on the connection of theory and practice. We aim to give voice to a variety of perspectives and make sense of those using theoretical insights from sociological, gender, social policy and migration studies. The literature and activities of this course will take us to realities of people across the world and draw linkages between multiple actors and spheres. We also ask what a “care revolution” could look like and how some of the inequalities involved in transnational care work could be addressed. This general studies seminar is recommended for advanced B.A. students and M.A. students. We will use a variety of online tools to create an open, inspiring, and communicative learning environment.

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Fr 16:00 - 18:00 (2 SWS)

It has been more than half a century since the last vestiges of formal empires were dismantled in the postwar context yet the notion of coloniality continues to frame our understanding of power across the world. “Racism, Coloniality and Space” opens up a platform for intellectual engagement to explore the stubborn relationship of racism as a spatial configuration of coloniality of power in different spatial settings. In this course, we tackle this relationship with a focus on three themes. First, we discuss how European colonialism still shapes our cartographic perspective of power relations in the world in the Global South and transnational diasporas. Second, we turn to the ghetto and el barrio as both colonial and futuristic spaces of African American and Latinx communities in the United States and discuss how racism and coloniality meet in urban spaces of the Global North. Third, we move to the Middle East as the ultimate Other of the West with a discussion on racism against Kurds in Turkey and Turkish cities. The goal of the course is to inform the participants about the interaction between structural racism and coloniality in contrasting spatial settings. Participants will explore this relationship to discuss alternative paths of politics that challenge contemporary forms and representations of coloniality.


Aim The course serves two objectives. The first one is to discuss the relationship between coloniality and racism as spatial categories. The second objective is to contextualize this relationship in historical cases.

Student Learning Outcomes 1. Gaining abilities on how to think critically and analytically on racism 2. Thinking the racism, coloniality and space from different disciplinary perspectives 3. Developing presentation skills 4. Gaining confidence in critical writing

In the seminar we will examine the development of the welfare state in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). We will start by definining the CEE region and looking at the similarities and differences (historical, cultural, political, economic) across CEE countries. We will then focus on the pre-1989 communist welfare state, as well as the unfolding and impact of the post-1989 transition. Then we will discuss the post-1989 development of welfare arrangements in the region (including healthcare, long-term care, family policies, pensions) and the actors involved in shaping policy-making processes. The impact of Europeanization processes, as well as gender aspects will also be considered. The non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
1. Definition of CEE; political, cultural, economic diversity of the region; 1945-1989 welfare arrangements; legacies
2. 1989 change; a triple transition; internal vs. external factors and actors shaping transition paths
3. Social costs of the transition – unemployment, health, demography, public opinion
4. Emergence of new ‘varieties of capitalism’ in CEE; the role of the state and trade unions in CEE; employment relations
5. Policies: pensions, healthcare, long-term care, unemployment insurance, family benefits and services
6. Welfare state and gender in the transition process
7. EU enlargement; social acquis; conditionality; compliance; impact of the acquis on social policy in CEE
8. New world(s) of welfare in CEE.
The seminar is organized in monthly block meetings and will take place online via zoom. Readings and course material will be made available on Stud.IP.

Comparative social policy analysis has focused for a long time mostly on the developed countries of the Global North. But not only the wealthy democracies of the North have developed social policy programs. More and more transition economies and developing countries are developing their own programs, increasing social expenditure and are including new societal groups in their social security systems. Despite some episodes of decline, social policy programs continue to increase worldwide. The development dimension of social policies and the social policies of developing countries in the Global South therefore merit special attention.
The course offers a glimpse into the growing literature on global social policy and on social policy in the Global South in four policy fields – pensions, health, work, and education – which are also covered by research projects in the currently running collaborative research center on global dynamics of public social policy.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to theoretical and experimental research in formal political theory, social choice and experimental political science. This course will cover several key topics that have been studied and developed through a combination of game-theoretic analysis and laboratory experiments. We will analyze participation in elections, voting behavior under different voting rules, and principal-agent problems in a political context. For some of these topics, we will examine in detail the interplay between theoretical predictions and behavior observed in laboratory experiments.

Termine:

This course aims to provide students with the tools to analyze, understand and explain the relationship between international politics and education policy. How does globalization influence national education policies and vice versa? Which actors are relevant in international education policy, and which theories of International Relations can help us explain the historical development of the field? These (and others) are the leading questions along which the course is structured. Special attention will be granted to the role of norms in international relations, how they have shaped international education policy in the past and continue to do so in the present. International organizations and their autonomous influence vis-à-vis nation states constitute the second key interest of the course. Is the “Golden age” of the nation state over, and what does the supposed transformation of the state mean for education policy?
This class is designed for Master level students and taught in English. In principle, the course is open to Master students from all relevant programmes. It is mandatory for the Double Degree M.A. Education Policies for Global Development. Teaching will be online.

08-350-M6-SP4-2Causal Mechanisms and the Global Dynamics of Social Policy (in englischer Sprache)

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Mo 14:00 - 16:00 (2 SWS)

Comparative welfare state research has for a long time been centred on welfare states of the Global North, and relied on a set of established theoretical approaches to study them. However, as more and more scholars focus on social policy developments in the Global South, questions how developments in these regions can be studied have become more pronounced as well. Should we rely on the theoretical approaches that we already know from the study of welfare states in the Global North, or do we need alternative approaches to be able to capture social policy dynamics in the Global South? Within this debate, an approach that focuses on causal mechanisms can provide a promising way forward.
The aim of this seminar is to introduce students to mechanism-based approaches, and to analyse and compare social policy dynamics around the globe by focusing on causal mechanisms. Students will become familiar with the concept of causal mechanisms and the methodology of process tracing, which can be highly useful for students aiming to conduct case-oriented research. Students will also learn about different welfare arrangements in both established and emerging welfare states, and how they can be studied.
The course will take place online. The course language is English.

Reproductive rights refer to the composite of human rights that address matters of sexual and reproductive health. Reproductive rights are protected through the application of human rights in guidelines, national laws, constitutions, and regional and international treaties. (…) [They] consist of three broad categories of rights: (1) rights to reproductive self-determination, (2) rights to sexual and reproductive health services, information, and education, and (3) rights to equality and nondiscrimination (Erdman and Cook 2008).
Different aspects of reproductive rights are studied by political science, medicine, public health, law and (bio)ethics.
Reproductive rights remain strongly contested, access to information and services continues to be restricted and individuals are 'denied freedom to manage their lives' in many world regions (Kulczycki 2017), including a number of European countries. On the other hand, advances are made in response to cultural and societal changes. Moreover, developments in medical technology require continuous adjustments of the respective regulations, both at national and regional (e.g. EU) level. Some recent news items offer snapshots of the changing situation in Europe:

In the seminar we will focus on how reproductive rights are defined by law and exercised in practice in European countries and internationally. Thus, we will analyze regulatory frameworks and their practical implementation affecting, among other, the provision of sexual education, access to abortion and assisted reproduction technologies. We will discuss cross-border mobility in pursuit of reproductive health needs: we will look at reproductive flows of individuals seeking abortion abroad, as well as those seeking access to medically assisted reproduction, including surrogacy. We will also address the notions of biopolitics as well as reproductive justice by discussing limitations that sexual minorities, individuals with different family status (singles and couples), and with different ethnic and racial background are facing while pursuing their reproductive rights.
The seminar is organized in monthly block meetings and will take place online via zoom. Readings and course material will be made available on Stud.IP.

Comparative social policy analysis has focused for a long time mostly on the developed countries of the Global North. But not only the wealthy democracies of the North have developed social policy programs. More and more transition economies and developing countries are developing their own programs, increasing social expenditure and are including new societal groups in their social security systems. Despite some episodes of decline, social policy programs continue to increase worldwide. The development dimension of social policies and the social policies of developing countries in the Global South therefore merit special attention.
The course offers a glimpse into the growing literature on global social policy and on social policy in the Global South in four policy fields – pensions, health, work, and education – which are also covered by research projects in the currently running collaborative research center on global dynamics of public social policy.

08-350-M6-SP4-2Causal Mechanisms and the Global Dynamics of Social Policy (in englischer Sprache)

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Mo 14:00 - 16:00 (2 SWS)

Comparative welfare state research has for a long time been centred on welfare states of the Global North, and relied on a set of established theoretical approaches to study them. However, as more and more scholars focus on social policy developments in the Global South, questions how developments in these regions can be studied have become more pronounced as well. Should we rely on the theoretical approaches that we already know from the study of welfare states in the Global North, or do we need alternative approaches to be able to capture social policy dynamics in the Global South? Within this debate, an approach that focuses on causal mechanisms can provide a promising way forward.
The aim of this seminar is to introduce students to mechanism-based approaches, and to analyse and compare social policy dynamics around the globe by focusing on causal mechanisms. Students will become familiar with the concept of causal mechanisms and the methodology of process tracing, which can be highly useful for students aiming to conduct case-oriented research. Students will also learn about different welfare arrangements in both established and emerging welfare states, and how they can be studied.
The course will take place online. The course language is English.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to theoretical and experimental research in formal political theory, social choice and experimental political science. This course will cover several key topics that have been studied and developed through a combination of game-theoretic analysis and laboratory experiments. We will analyze participation in elections, voting behavior under different voting rules, and principal-agent problems in a political context. For some of these topics, we will examine in detail the interplay between theoretical predictions and behavior observed in laboratory experiments.

Fr 09.07.21 12:30 - 15:30

In the seminar we will examine the development of the welfare state in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). We will start by definining the CEE region and looking at the similarities and differences (historical, cultural, political, economic) across CEE countries. We will then focus on the pre-1989 communist welfare state, as well as the unfolding and impact of the post-1989 transition. Then we will discuss the post-1989 development of welfare arrangements in the region (including healthcare, long-term care, family policies, pensions) and the actors involved in shaping policy-making processes. The impact of Europeanization processes, as well as gender aspects will also be considered. The non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
1. Definition of CEE; political, cultural, economic diversity of the region; 1945-1989 welfare arrangements; legacies
2. 1989 change; a triple transition; internal vs. external factors and actors shaping transition paths
3. Social costs of the transition – unemployment, health, demography, public opinion
4. Emergence of new ‘varieties of capitalism’ in CEE; the role of the state and trade unions in CEE; employment relations
5. Policies: pensions, healthcare, long-term care, unemployment insurance, family benefits and services
6. Welfare state and gender in the transition process
7. EU enlargement; social acquis; conditionality; compliance; impact of the acquis on social policy in CEE
8. New world(s) of welfare in CEE.

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Do 14:00 - 16:00 (2 SWS)

This course aims to provide students with the tools to analyze, understand and explain the relationship between international politics and education policy. How does globalization influence national education policies and vice versa? Which actors are relevant in international education policy, and which theories of International Relations can help us explain the historical development of the field? These (and others) are the leading questions along which the course is structured. Special attention will be granted to the role of norms in international relations, how they have shaped international education policy in the past and continue to do so in the present. International organizations and their autonomous influence vis-à-vis nation states constitute the second key interest of the course. Is the “Golden age” of the nation state over, and what does the supposed transformation of the state mean for education policy?
This class is designed for Master level students and taught in English. In principle, the course is open to Master students from all relevant programmes. It is mandatory for the Double Degree M.A. Education Policies for Global Development. Teaching will be online.

ECTS: 3/6

Termine:

In the seminar „Who cares?! Comparative perspectives on care, gender and migration”, we examine the ever-more relevant topic of transnational care work and its consequences for global inequalities as well as for individual lives. We focus specifically on the connection of theory and practice. We aim to give voice to a variety of perspectives and make sense of those using theoretical insights from sociological, gender, social policy and migration studies. The literature and activities of this course will take us to realities of people across the world and draw linkages between multiple actors and spheres. We also ask what a “care revolution” could look like and how some of the inequalities involved in transnational care work could be addressed. This general studies seminar is recommended for advanced B.A. students and M.A. students. We will use a variety of online tools to create an open, inspiring, and communicative learning environment.

Natural resources shall be protected, poverty and hunger in all is forms should be combated. Health, high-quality education, and equality shall be promoted. What do those goals mean on the level of work and organisation? In the micro-political climate of organisations it should be asked how acting socially sustainable does look like. This becomes apparent in light of specific issues; with the pandemic-induced home office with digitally mitigated communication and cooperation, participation becomes a key question: How is participation in processes concerning specific employees possible when those are not on the premises but in their home office? Approaches of participation build specifically on effects promoted by dialogue and action in groups: the functions of holding and containment in groups, by group cohesion and –culture, va group-related thinking and decision-making. The goal of participation are based on humanistic insights, it answers to basic human needs. Participatory approaches are based on effects in groups, such as group cohesion and –culture, group thinking and decision making. How well does participation go with digitally mediated communication at work?
Participants in this seminar analyse topics of interest in this framework: In the start workshop, frames are set content-wise and methodological, also teams are founded. In five workshops students work on specific contents: 1 Ethic, humanistic, and health related foundations; 2 Resonance, world relation and health (Rosa, Rahm et al.); 3 Living learning in groups by theme-centered interaction (Cohn, Meyerhuber); 4 Basics of organisational development (Lewin; French & Bell); 5 Digital divide issues (van Dijk 2006). Digital tools promising participation will be analysed, as well as the new language emerging during the digital push. Students conduct one interview each with a practitioner, and include results in their workshop. An overall closing workshop helps to evaluate the insights gained.
Students work in a team of four on a topic. They create an adult education workshop and write a professional documentary. In all steps, the lecturer gives support, advice, and feedback. An accompanying writing-workshop of 30 minutes follows after each workshop.
All seminars of the general studies series „Sociology meets psychology: acting socially in organisations“ can be studied singular or as a set. Recommended for students in their 3rd semester, open for students from their 1st semester on, open for students from other faculties (BA, MA) and ERASMUS. As an intense training seminar, the group is limited to 19 participants (for chance of presence parts).

[Familiensoziologie]

Vorlesung

Termine:
wöchentlich Do 08:00 - 10:00 (2 SWS)

This course will explore sociological concepts and issues within contemporary family sociology. The intersections between the family and other social institutions will be one component of this course. The development of family forms and diversity of families will be another central topic. We will consider marriage and partner selection in historical context by exploring changes in peoples’ intentions to marry and form families. We will explore the development and the functions of couple relationships as well as the relationships between family members, and examine the meaning of couple and family relationships for broader societal developments and social inequalities. Further, we will acquire an overview of empirical research on families and discuss the role of family policies in contemporary societies.
Language of instruction is English, discussions and written contributions can be in English or German.

[Familien und Intergenerationale Transmission]

Seminar

Termine:
wöchentlich Do 10:00 - 12:00 (2 SWS)

This seminar accompanies the lecture in the module “Spezielle Soziologien: Familiensoziologie”. The thematic focus is on intergenerational transmission, understood as social inheritance of characteristics of parents on their children. Intergenerational transmission research on behavior, attitudes and values has a long tradition in the social sciences. There is rich literature which can be differentiated into (1) transmission of parents’ socioeconomic status to their children, (2) transmission of parents’ behaviors (such as partnership and family behaviors) and (3) intergenerational transmission of attitudes and value orientations (such as gender role attitudes and family values). In this course, we will address all three areas. Students will be introduced to current research and enabled to gain a deeper understanding of transmission processes. The language of instruction will be English, discussions and written contributions can be in English or German. Good working proficiency in English and familiarity with sociological concepts and methods is required.

[Who cares?! Vergleichende Perspektiven auf Care-Arbeit, Gender und Migration]

Seminar
ECTS: 3/6

Termine:
wöchentlich Do 14:00 - 16:00 (2 SWS)

In the seminar „Who cares?! Comparative perspectives on care, gender and migration”, we examine the ever-more relevant topic of transnational care work and its consequences for global inequalities as well as for individual lives. We focus specifically on the connection of theory and practice. We aim to give voice to a variety of perspectives and make sense of those using theoretical insights from sociological, gender, social policy and migration studies. The literature and activities of this course will take us to realities of people across the world and draw linkages between multiple actors and spheres. We also ask what a “care revolution” could look like and how some of the inequalities involved in transnational care work could be addressed. This general studies seminar is recommended for advanced B.A. students and M.A. students. We will use a variety of online tools to create an open, inspiring, and communicative learning environment.
