Culture and Change - Critical Studies in the Humanities, Master's Programme (Two-Year)

The aim of this course is for students to explore and develop relevant skills, primary research methods, and inquiry techniques required to complete an independent thesis project. Students will also be encouraged to build their confidence in order to participate in areas of cultural inquiry that are complex and sensitive.

This course is an introduction to various, relevant research methods in the field of Cultural Studies. Students study and analyse previous research with respect to methods, and discuss and investigate how methods have bearing on the research conducted. It examines epistemological problems, in basic and more exploratory research methods relevant to Cultural Studies. Furthermore, the course invites specialists from the field (archivists, documentary photographers, librarians) who deal with the ethical dimensions of research in practice. This practical component of the “how” in research, is prioritised in order to help facilitate a holistic and integrated research practice.
