Masterforum: Künste, Theorie, Kritik (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Ben Trott

Inhalt: It provides 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 the first meeting of the Master Forum, 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 meetings of the Master Forum. Students can choose whther to present in German or English. 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.

Individuell nehmen auch die Betreueri:nnen oder themenspezifische Gäste teil. Das Kollquium richtet sich an interessierte Studierende, die mit historisch-epistemologischen Methoden arbeiten und ist hinsichtlich des Gegenstandsbereichs offen (epochenübergreifend: Kunst, Literatur, Wissenschaften oder Medien; Ding-, Institutionen-, Alltags-, Körper- oder Theoriegeschichte; einzelne Artefakte, Orte oder intellektuelle bzw. soziale Bewegungen usw.). Die Arbeitssprache ist deutsch, englischsprachige Präsentationen sind gleichwohl willkommen. Bei mangelnder Passung zu Ihren Interessen (etwa aufgrund der Zuweisung durch Losverfahren) unterstützen die Leiter*innen der drei angebotenen Masterforen Sie darin, daß Sie zwischen diesen zu Beginn des Semesters noch wechseln können, um eine angemessene Betreuung zu erhalten. Fortgeschrittene BA-Studierende sind herzlich zur Teilnahme eingeladen. Das Kollquium dient der gemeinsamen Diskussion der Abschlussarbeit und der dazu notwendigen Schritte wie Themenfindung und -eingrenzung, Recherche des Forschungsstandes, Entwicklung einer spezifischen Fragestellung, Verfassen eines kurzen und langen Abstracts, Entwurf eines möglichen Aufbaus der der Arbeit sowie der Ermittlung inhaltlich und methodisch kompetenter Betreuer:innen. Zur Anmeldung bitte ich um eine kurze Nachricht (mail) mit Ihren thematischen Interessen.

Masters Forum Culture & Organization (english) (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Timon Beyes

Inhalt: After the winter term's Master Forum was dedicated to finding a theme and developing an exposé for your Master thesis, this 'summer Master Forum' provides an opportunity to present works-in-progress. Importantly, the Master Forum is a space for collective learning and peer feedback; seeing how go about their thesis will help you with yours. So the main aim is to receive productive critical feedback – both from instructors and from student peers - on ongoing thesis projects. There will also be room for students searching for a theme (and supervisors) and developing an exposé (research question, methods, conceptual frame etc.). Students who have successfully passed the Master Forum in the winter term are invited to present and receive feedback on a chapter/an excerpt from their ongoing thesis, and on questions they now encounter. Students who have not yet submitted and presented their exposé can do so to obtain the necessary credits. (Please note that the main discussion of practical or even technical issues of thesis writing takes place in the winter term.) 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 asked to attend all sessions of the Master Forum. Please be ready to provide your fellow students with productive critical feedback on their projects!
