Today, public debate is becoming increasingly strained in liberal democracies across the globe. Political polarization, the rise of social media and so-called echo chambers have helped upset established norms governing conversations in the public sphere. But are we justified in viewing these recent developments as a form of decay? Was the public exchange of opinions necessarily less polarized and more deliberative in the past?

20 March: Recognising other voices
- how to present secondary literature
- how to paraphrase, quote, refer to
- styles of referencing
- punctuation
The seminar aims to propose a critical use of these concepts and will show how this critical approach allows for a better understanding of the fields of research. Our approach is as much pragmatic as it is theoretical: how to better understand a field of research, how to fine-tune analyses on topics that have been already largely covered by previous research and how to draw practical conclusions on "hot" current issues.
Guidelines - monograph or article-based thesis

Every PhD thesis needs to explicitly grapple with issues of theory and methods. This PhD course grabs the bull by the horns and challenges participants to seriously engage foundational problems in history.
This 5 ECTS course adresses problems related to theory (ideas/principles to explain a practice or account for a situation) and method (planned procedure to pursue knowledge), and highlights the connections between them.

Linguistics is becoming ever more data-driven, with increasing use of data from corpora and experiments. This course will teach you the basic computational skills that you need to engage in large-scale data collection and analysis. Concretely, you will learn to use the programming language Python and its associated open source library called the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK).
How can qualitative interviewing enrich the study of social and political processes in area studies? Does the interview constitute a “personal sphere” — a realm of inter-subjective exchanges of perceptions, or is it a source that provides more than just situational information? How should information obtained through interviewing be organized and presented in a dissertation, and what is the analytical value of a “text-bite” in a larger body of text?
With Geir Flikke, Associate Professor, ILOS
Please sign up by Friday the 14th December
