Beschreibung

This is a research-based project seminar in American Studies, which focuses on the exploration, discussion and examination of diverse social movements that have shaped the history and politics of United States, such as abolitionism in the nineteenth century, workers, trade union and socialist movements, the suffrage movement, and anti-lynching movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, civil rights and black liberation movements and second wave feminist movements in the postwar decades, and gay rights and antiwar movements in the sixties and seventies. Each of the course participants will take up a research project pertaining to one of the social movements in a small group and work fairly autonomously under my supervision. There would be periodic reviews of the progress on individual research projects via presentations and consultations. For the purposes of final evaluation, each participant would need to write a paper on the basis of research conducted during the teaching semester which could then be presented at a symposium organized at the end of the seminar.
If you wish to take part in this project seminar, you should be more than willing to conduct research independently, i.e., develop your own research question and argument, and above all, access and read through secondary literature in this area of study. Therefore, this course is recommended for advanced students of English and American Studies, who would be confident to work on such a project on a reasonably independent basis.
Please check the course webpages on Stud.IP regularly for updates, announcements, and changes.
Prerequisites for participation: B1 module
This course shares requirements and guidelines with the other American Studies courses taught at IfAA. The “American Studies Tool Kit” in the Stud.IP “Files” section outlines these requirements and guidelines. Please see the “Guidelines for Seminar Papers” for information on the formal requirements for the final paper. The “Abbreviations Key” and “Grading Rubric” are used in the grading and feedback process and will enable you to better judge your own paper even before handing it in.
