Courses and seminars - Page 6

This compulsory course for all PhD candidates at the Faculty of Humanities introduces foundational problems of knowledge-production in the humanities.

Advanced course in methods: Archives are collections of documents and institutions that preserve them. What have been kept, for what purposes, by whom, and how can they be accessed? And how does asking these questions help students of the present and the past shape new research questions and design more thoughtful and better research projects? This course seeks to enable students to engage with the epistemic problems presented by archives. What is it possible to know and represent through archival sources, and what are the limitations to what can be known?  

Advanced Course in Research Ethics: Ethics is essential to good scientific practice. However, rapid technological advances produce new challenges for research ethics. This advanced course in Internet Research Ethics covers both a reflection on norms and an examination of practical, real-world dilemmas with the aim to promote responsible and ethically justifiable research practice.

Research in history shall take place in accordance with legal rules and ethical norms.
