Course content
This course offers analytical perspectives and tools that are relevant in the student's master project. We begin where the methodology course ended: the students are going to find categories, codes and key words in their own empirical material and learn about a variety of analytical approaches. Narrative analysis, deconstruction, discourse analysis, symbol analysis and intersectionality will be at the center of the course. A common term for these approaches could be cultural analysis. Descriptions of the analytical perspectives are on the reading list, as well as practical examples in the form of empirical analysis on different topics. The work in this course is closely related to the work on the master thesis.
Learning outcome
Aims for this course are to learn how to analyse gender, equality and diversity from a cultural-analytical perspective, to learn cultural analysis that can be applied to the study of cultural change, and to learn to apply theoretical/analytical concepts.
Students taking this course will gain knowledge about:
- a variety of approaches to cultural analysis of social categories such as gender, class, race, ethnicity and sexuality
- the analytical potential of a broad range of theoretical concepts.
Students taking this course will gain competence in:
- selecting and applying theory for a variety of analytical aims and purposes
- communicating their knowledge orally
- writing texts based on independent reflection about theoretical/analytical concepts.
Learning methods and activities
Practical assignments will go hand in hand with teaching about the theoretical. There are two compulsory assignments, for which the students are offered supervision. As a prerequisite for taking the exam, the student must have submitted and passed two exercises (a report and a written exercise). The report, which is written at the start of the semester, must give an account of the empirical material in the student master's project. The supervision on the compulsory assignments is restricted to students whose assignments have not been approved in earlier attempts of graduation. Letter grades are given after a final written assignment. Students who do not fulfill the attendance requirement, can apply to be allowed to write a compensatory written assignment. A supervision seminar is connected to this course. The students write a report where they account for their empirical material in the beginning of the semester.
