https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/LEGS5968?type=COREThis course is designed to support the development of your ongoing research projects, helping you think through and discuss research questions, hypothesis development, analytical frameworks, methods and methodologies. It equips students with relevant knowledge of research methodology and methods in the interdisciplinary field of human rights. Students will acquire skills to (self-)critically design, conduct and reflect on human rights research, and critically assess their position within it, using their own research project as the basis. The course provides knowledge and training for planning your own research on human rights topics. It aims to provide skills that are relevant to writing a research paper in human rights law, as well as being useful for your future career. This includes identifying and developing (1) a sound research question and hypothesis, and (2) appropriate data collection methods and analysis techniques and (3) positioning your research in relation to the broader field of work on the topic. The course will also consider questions of research ethics and positionality of research and researchers. Organised as an interactive seminar, the course partly requires students to present from their ongoing thesis projects.
