This core course is designed for doctoral researchers at the GCSC who are starting their dissertation projects as affiliates of the Faculty 03: Cultural and Social Sciences. The course aims to provide participants with an introductory orientation to the early challenges of a doctoral project in the social sciences such as building the relevant methodological and theoretical approach of their work or preparing for fieldwork. Accordingly, the course will focus on several parts of structuring the doctoral project in detail, such as research questions, literature review, theoretical framework and methodological tools. The course aims to provide a guided space for doctoral candidates to reflect on their individual projects, so it is designed to include both instructor input, collective group discussion and individual work on one‘s own project. It is suggested that participants send the following to the instructor by December 5, 2025: 

  • Title & abstract of the dissertation project (max. 500 words)
  • Brief answers to the following questions: (1)What would you most like to discuss in this course regarding your doctoral project? (2) At this early stage of your project, which parts/aspects of your dissertation do you find most challenging?
