We are delighted to announce the 10th edition of the Berlin Summer School in Social Sciences. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The summer school aims at supporting young researchers by strengthening their ability in linking theory and empirical research. The two-week program creates anexcellentbasisforthe development of their current research designs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first week, we address the key methodological challenges of concept-building, causation\/explanation, and micro-macro linkage that occur in almost all research efforts. We strive for a clarification of the epistemological foundations underlying methodological \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 paradigms. In the second week, these methodological considerations are applied to central empirical fields of research in political science, sociology, and other related disciplines. In this second part of the program,participants are assigned to four thematic groups according to their own research topic. The thematic areas covered are: “Global Governance & International Relations”, “Citizenship, Migration, and Identities”, “Social Struggle and Globalization”, and “Democracy at the Crossroads”.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is characterized by a varied format comprised of lectures, workshops, seminars, and a one-to-one consultation. During the summer school, participants will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own work extensively. Participants will be provided with\u00a0 hands-on advice for their research designs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school brings together a faculty of renowned international and Berlin-based scholars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the confirmed international lecturers are Ann Swidler (\u200bUC Berkeley), David Stark (The University of Texas at Austin), Donatella della Porta (\u200bScuola Normale Superiore\u200b), Felix Berenskoetter (SOAS University of London), Hendrik Wagenaar (University of Sheffield) and Vera \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Troeger (University of Warwick).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
