Organizing Care (Seminar)

Inhalt: +++ If you would like to participate please send an email to haniel_esa@leuphana.de until April 2nd, 2024 (max. 1 page covering your motivation why you would like to attend the Summer Academy). You will be notified until April 8th. The maximum number of Lüneburg participants is 10. +++ The European Summer Academy, enabled by the German Haniel Foundation, brings together MA students from five different European business schools and universities: the University of St. Gallen, the Copenhagen Business School, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Ca’Foscari University of Venice, and Bristol University. The Academy will have its base in Berlin. Thanks to the generous support of the Haniel Foundation, we can offer free accommodation. Course content 2024’s European Summer Academy will investigate the organizational and entrepreneurial conditions, consequences, potentials and politics of ´careʹ. In times of environmental and health crises, how we think and organize care – as caring for e.g. others, neighbourhoods, environments, and oneself – is of utmost concern. How, then, is care understood and practiced? What kind of organizational forms and processes does it take? What social and political struggles mark the work of caring? How do these forms and processes take place within the urban landscape; what are its sites, actors and atmospheres? The Summer Academy is dedicated to understanding and exploring the organizational and entrepreneurial conditions, concerns and demands of practicing care. To do so, we will apprehend and explore the city of Berlin as empirical site of organizing these conditions, concerns and demands: from everyday practices of care to sites of self-care, from protest movements to feminist initiatives that seek to reorganize the labour of caring, from locations of collective caring to globalized networks, from bottom‑up initiatives to the bureaucratic enforcement of care. Joined by researchers of all participating universities as well as guests, we will jointly work towards an exhibition of the studentsʹ findings on care as a phenomenon that organizes urban life, and that is constantly organized and re-organized. Course structure After an (online) introduction/preparation session, the course is organized in five parts and runs over 5 full days, which consist of thematic discussions, guest lectures, preparatory methodological exercises, on‑site visits and fieldwork, project analysis and putting together an exhibit of findings. Through mixed groups made up from participants from the participating universities, the learning process centres on the fieldwork on or around care‑based projects and sites in the urban context of Berlin, which are reflected conceptually and personally by respectively drawing upon the preparatory readings and group reflections. Part 1 consists of exploring histories and concepts of care. Part 2 consists of fieldwork and empirical research based on specific organizational initiatives, processes and milieus around care in the city of Berlin. In Part 3, we develop empirical findings through interweaving observations with findings from literature research. Part 4 is for preparing and executing the exhibition. Part 5 is setting up the exhibition and presenting the findings. Based on developing mixed groups from the various universities, the learning process centres on the fieldwork on or around care-based projects and sites in the urban context of Berlin, which are reflected both conceptually and personally by drawing upon the preparatory readings and group reflections.

Master Forum (english) (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Timon Beyes, Ben Trott

Inhalt: This Master Forum, which will be held entirely in English, provides first and foremost an opportunity for students embarking on their MA theses to present an outline of their projects, with the goal of receiving productive critical feedback – both from instructors and from student peers. In addition, it also aims to facilitate critical reflection on a set of what may initially appear to be quite practical or even technical issues – around how scholarly research is carried out and presented – and yet often ultimately prove to be caught up with questions of content, argument and approach. In the first meeting of the Master Forum, Timon Beyes and Ben Trott will introduce some of the common issues confronted by those carrying out scholarly research or writing in Cultural Studies, the Humanities and the Social Sciences. This will include general questions, including: how to arrive at and formulate a research question and a suitable framework for your project; how to begin thinking about method and methodology, and starting to conducting research; and ways of referencing and of acknowledging the use of sources. Students are invited to sign up to present an outline of their MA thesis in the subsequent three meetings of the Master Forum, with presentations set to take place in English. While this will ultimately depend on the number of students participating, students should expect to have around 30 minutes in total for the presentation and discussion of their projects, and presentations themselves should last between 10 and 15 minutes, allowing plenty of time for discussion. Students are required upload a two-page summary of their project to myStudy one week before they are due to present. This should include: • a working title for your thesis as well as your research question; • the approach, method or methodology that you plan on using, and the theoretical framework or points of reference for your project; • what you anticipate discovering or arguing in your thesis; • and a list of up to five key works that you will use, along with any additional information about sources you plan on using – such as archives, exhibitions or interview partners. Students are asked to attend all sessions of the Master Forum, not the simply the session in which they will present, and to have read the two-page summaries ahead of time. Please be ready to provide your fellow students with productive critical feedback on their projects! The Master Forum is examined (pass/fail) as a combined scholarly work [Kombinierte wissenschaftliche Arbeit] made up of (a) your two-page summary and (b) your presentation.

Forschungskolleg (4) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Timon Beyes, Beate Söntgen

Inhalt: Alle Kollegiat_innen berichten einmal im Semester zum Stand der Dissertationsprojekte (Vorstellung von Exposés, Kapiteln, Arbeitsergebnissen sowie Methodenreflexionen). Die Sitzungen sind im gesprächsfördernden Response-Verfahren angelegt: Ein_e Referent_in präsentiert das zuvor zirkulierte Manuskript, während der/die Verfasser_in klarstellt, erläutert und ergänzt; die Diskussion folgt unter Vorsitz einer dritten Person aus dem Kreis der Kollegiat_innen. So üben die Kollegiat_innen die Situierung eigener und fremder Arbeiten in einem wissenschaftlichen Rahmen ein sowie das Vermögen, kritische Einwänden zu erheben bzw. sich diesen zu stellen. Bei der Präsentation von Dissertationsprojekten sind die jeweiligen Betreuer_innen anwesend. Gäste, etwa Assoziierte oder weitere Kolleg_innen aus der Leuphana, können auf Wunsch hinzugezogen werden.
