Course content

The aim of the course is to deepen students’ knowledge of the theory of science as it relates to research in the humanities and educational sciences. Students will also gain a broader knowledge of, and develop their skills in, academic writing.

Different theories of central importance in the humanities and educational sciences are discussed and problematised from the basis of key epistemological and ethical questions. Focus is particularly placed on the analytical categories of class, gender, ethnicity, nation and generation. Using a selection of relevant academic sources that are reviewed, compared and discussed, the interaction of scientific research and proven experience within the teaching profession is highlighted and problematised in terms of scientific, societal and ethical aspects. The course allows students the opportunity to further develop their ability to communicate in an academic context, in accordance with current conventions and disciplinary requirements, and to provide qualified peer response.
