Supervision

The professorship supervises bachelor's and master's theses as well as doctoral projects that either a) pursue a political science focus – for example in the field of democracy research – or b) engage with planetary change from a humanities or social science perspective, or c) take an inter- or transdisciplinary approach to planetary change.

To ensure a focused and constructive start, all prospective candidates are asked to submit a short exposé outlining their proposed topic. This forms the basis for an initial conversation and helps assess the project’s fit for supervision. Please send a single PDF document that includes the following sections:

  1. Working Title
  2. Motivation
  3. Research Question
  4. Context & Relevance
  5. Theoretical Framework
  6. Methodological Approach
  7. Preliminary Outline
  8. Bibliography incl. key references
  9. Timeline

For orientation, the exposé should comprise ca. 1000 words for a Bachelor’s thesis, ca. 2000 words for a Master’s thesis, and 3000 words for a PhD project. I look forward to reading your ideas and engaging with your proposal.
