INSTITUTE OF SOCIOLOGY – COURSES IN ENGLISCH – WINTER SEMESTER 2016/17 SEITE 1

1. Preliminary remarks

1.1 Aim

The institute of sociology at Goethe-University Frankfurt is aimed at strenghtening its international profile in teaching

and extending its English-taught courses in the BA and MA programs. This booklet provides a review of English-taught

courses that take place in the winter semester 2016/17.

We hope that this overview can help foreign and German students that like to enhance their English skills in making

their course.

1.2 How to use this booklet

The booklet includes the core information about the courses that are taught in English in the BA and MA programs in

sociology. It is advisable, hoewever, to check the details in the online university calender (LSF) since dates, times, and

rooms might have been changed. The LSF is accessible at URL https://qis.server.uni-frankfurt.de.

Please note:

1.) While the majority of courses will take place on the Campus Westend, some courses will be on the Campus

Bockenheim.

2.) At German universities courses usually begin 15 minutes later (c.t. = cum tempore) and end 15 minutes earlier

than stated in the course description. For example, a course that is scheduled for 2-4 PM will probably start at

2.15 PM and end at 3.45 PM. There are exceptions to this custom of course; if you are not sure about it, ask your

teacher or fellow students about the time arrangements for the certain course.

Appropriating Feminism? Feminist Entanglements with Neoliberalism, Racism, Interna-

tional Politics and Military Interventions

Helma Lutz

Link to seminar

Courses description

Appropriation has recently become a buzzword to describe a variety of problematic incorporations of social move-

ments originally seeking progressive change into hegemonic projects. The appropriation of feminist ideas and practic-

es by conservative or right-wing parties, elective affinities between feminism and neo-liberalism as well the use of

feminism as justification in international politics and military interventions represent some examples of contemporary

entanglements of feminism with hegemonic projects, that have recently become a topic of international feminist

concern. From a feminist research perspective, this course will reflect on the many but fragmented debates on appro-

priation and cooptation of feminism in the various contexts and examine how some of the feminist ideas and practices

have been appropriated by or incorporated into various actors’ hegemonic projects.

In the course we will explore three topics: a) feminism and neoliberalism; b) feminism and racism/neo-liberalism; c)

feminism, international politics and military interventions.

Contemporary Racisms

Kira Kosnick

Link to seminar

Courses description

This seminar will investigate contemporary forms of racism, particularly as they relate to the so-called refugee crisis

and questions of migrant integration in Europe. We will examine the links between postcoloniality and racism, be-

tween ‘cultural’ racism and Islamophobia, and between neoliberal capitalism and the regulation of migra-

tion/integration. Students need to be willing to work through and engage with mostly English texts with different,

sometimes high levels of theoretical complexity, and to participate actively in oral discussions in the classroom. The

aim is to both better understand the workings of racism beyond the phenomenon of self-avowedly racist right-wing

extremism, and to think about strategies of anti-racist intervention.

Elections and referendums

Sergiu Gherghina

Link to seminar

Course description:

Elections are at the core of most political systems in the world. Almost every country, irrespective of its size or regime

type, holds elections (for various reasons) that are organized by specific rules. Referendums are a particular type of

election in which citizens are asked to choose between policies instead of candidates. They are a form of direct de-

https://qis.server.uni-frankfurt.de/qisserver/rds?state=verpublish&status=init&vmfile=no&publishid=205596&moduleCall=webInfo&publishConfFile=webInfo&publishSubDir=veranstaltung




mocracy in which citizens have the opportunity to influence decision-making in a non-mediated way. This course aims

to provide students a basic understanding of these two fundamental processes in contemporary politics: what elec-

tions and referendums are, how they function, and with what consequences for the broader political system. In this

respect, the readings are selected to familiarize students with the particular concepts, while the course lectures are

designed to complement the information received from texts and to delve into issues related to the components,

types, rational, and functioning of elections and referendums. Several class exercises are thought as hands-on ap-

proach by 1) providing illustrative examples for the theoretical instances discussed during the course and 2) by en-

couraging active participation from students. At the end of this course it is expected that students will have learned a

detailed understanding of how elections and referendums function and what the most common consequences of

these processes are.

Equality and Justice

Eszter Kollar

Link to seminar

Course description: Ideas of equality and justice are at the core of some of the most influential debates in contemporary political theory. While most people subscribe to some idea of equality and justice, philosophical and political discussions are fraught with disagreement over their precise meaning, what kind of equality is of value, how it relates to the problem of (dis-tributive) justice, and which inequalities should be seen as unjust. The course begins with an introduction to the method of political theorizing followed by a discussion on why and when equality matters. Then, the course proceeds through a series of seminal debates in theories of justice and equality, including, Rawls vs. Nozick; equality vs. suffi-ciency; “the equality of what”; luck egalitarianism vs. social-relational egalitarianism. In second part of the course, focusing on applied normative theories, we examine some ideas concerning the requirements of justice and equality in the context of disability, racial discrimination and the gendered division of labor. The course combines lectures, seminars, and debate sessions with active student participation.

Einführung in die Quantitative Empirische Datenanalyse: Einstellungen zur Elternschaft in

Europa -

Sandra Buchler

Link to seminar

Course description:

The learning goals of this seminar are twofold. First, the seminar will focus on (the social construction of) parenthood,

attitudes toward parenthood and the division of paid and unpaid work, with a particular focus on how to design and

empirically examine sociologically relevant research questions. Second, the students will learn how to conduct quanti-

tative empirical data analysis using (cross-national) survey data. Using STATA, students will be guided through the

initial stages of data setup, data cleaning, variable construction and producing basic multi-variate statistical models

(for example, linear and bi-variate regression). Overall, the goal of the seminar is to provide students will the skills

required to conduct empirical, quantitative data analysis within the frame of theory and research questions relevant

for sociology and the social sciences. It is a prerequisite that students have completed “Modul 4 / SOZ-BA-F1 Statistik”

and “Modul 3 / SOZ-BA-GF Grundlagen der empirischen Sozialforschung” or have completed equivalent course-

work/seminars/courses.

Possibly add a note about using ESS, or whatever data set will be used. Think about to what degree it will be possible

to do cross-national research (probably not possible at BA level, but can still do country-specific data analysis).




Language: Depending of the preferences and capacities of the participating students the seminar can be carried out in

German or English (the course guide, readings and handouts, however, will be provided in English).

Ethnography in practice and in theory - Part 2

Endre Dányi

Link to seminar

Course description

Over the past couple of decades, ethnography has become a popular method of social inquiry. As such, it has often

been used to produce raw material for new theories and test the applicability of already existing ones. At the same

time, it has been rather uncommon to think of it as a mode of theorising on its own right. The central purpose of the

second part of this course is to problematise the boundary between theory and practice by reviewing some of the

most exciting developments in ethnographic research as distinct ways of doing theory, including Paul Rabinow’s an-

thropology of the contemporary, Bruno Latour’s anthropology of the moderns, and various storytelling experiments

inspired by the scholarship of Walter Benjamin.

Gender, Flight and Refugee Migration in Intersectional Perspective

Marija Grujic

Link to seminar

Course description

„Gender, Flight and Refugee Migration in Intersectional Perspective” is a BA course that is designed to provide stu-

dents with a critical introduction - primarily from a gender studies sociological perspective - to flight and refugee mi-

gration as multifaceted social phenomena that are entangled with discourses on exclusion/inclusion from ‘nation’ and

‘state’. This seminar aims to introduce complexities around the following topics: subject formation and nation, ind i-

vidual and collective identities, power relations and politics of difference. The ‘flight’ and ‘refugee’ will be, therefore,

mainly discussed in the intersection with the ‘gendered nationalism’ and politics of individual and collective belonging

to her/his ‘homeland’.

In order to achieve this, in the framework of this seminar, on the one side, we will discuss different questions and links

between ‘gender’ and ‘nation’ as social categories. On the other side, ‘nationalism’ as an ideology and a discourse on

‘others’ will be framed within questions such as: How (national) ‘borders’ and ‘boundaries’ co-construct refugeeness

and displacements as political and social reality? How notions of ‘home’ and ‘homeland’ are intersected in the migra-

tory experiences and the social status of people in ‘flight’ and ‘refuge’? In order to answer these questions, we will

read a variety of studies on the post-conflict and the post-colonial societies that provide us a critical material for stud-

ying politics of belonging and constructions of stereotypes on ‘other’, in particular, in regards to nationalism, racism

and sexisms.

The course will mostly be focused on the European context, however global and transnational perspectives will be

thematized. Most of the specialized literature will represent micro-sociological studies and socio-anthropological work

on refugees and displacement in the context of post-conflict or post-socialist societies such as former Yugoslavia and

Soviet Union.

Leviathan's Shadow: Statehood and Sovereignty in International Relation

Ben Kamis

Link to seminar

Courses description

This course engages with one of the most central and yet most challenged and elusive concepts of International Rela-

tions (IR): the state. In conventional IR perspectives, the state system is taken for granted as an institutional landscape

in which international political interaction plays out. Yet if states are the building blocks of the international, how did

they emerge in the first place and how are they challenged or reconstituted by various developments in contemporary

world politics, from state failure to global constitutionalization? This course familiarizes students with debates on the

historical emergence of the state and state system, from Neo-Weberian and Marxist accounts to legal approaches,

thus revisiting key understandings of how today’s international order was constituted and what makes it hold togeth-

er. It then turns to discussing contemporary issues of statehood in international politics, including state-building, (non-

)intervention, and the role of international law in the creation, recognition, and regulation of new states. The course

thereby introduces students to a central category of IR and world politics and at the same time offers critical perspec-

tives on the stakes involved in performing, challenging, and reconstituting the state and state system.

Migrants and the City, part 2

Anna Amelina

Link to seminar

Courses description

Frankfurt is a superdiverse city that has become home to people from all over the world and that integrates a contra-

dictory dynamics brought about by neoliberal pressures on one side and cosmopolitan, ethnic and cross-ethnic net-

works on the other. Frankfurt has become a place both for cosmopolitan elites and for members of the global precari-

at.

The primary objective of this seminar is to study a variety of social domains of Frankfurt’s urban life in relation to in-

ternational migration, mobile individuals’ settlement and Frankfurt’s transnational embeddedness, in particular in

relation to fundamental structures of social inequality in terms of gender, class, ethnicity/race and age. Participants

will be inspired to conduct original research on the impacts of international migration on Frankfurt, the life trajecto-

ries and experiences of mobile individuals, and city policies on migration and internationalization. The course consists

of two parts.

Part I (summer term 2016) will provide the theoretic and methodological basis for the participants’ empirical studies;

Part II (winter term 2016/17) will be organized around the participants’ empirical studies, which will involve the re-

search itself, a brief presentation of the results and the preparation of research reports.

Practice turn in the social sciences

Endre Dányi

Link to seminar

Courses description

This is an introductory course centred around the concept of practice.

It aims to offer a general overview of the so-called practice turn in the social sciences, compare and contrast the most

important theories of practice in sociology, and examine a series of case studies in practice research informed by re-






cent developments in cultural anthropology, ethnomethodology, discourse analysis, and science and technology stud-

ies.

After an introductory session we proceed by identifying various components of practice theory as possible focus

points. Each component – ‘bodies’, ‘texts’, ‘materialities’, ‘temporalities’, ‘spatialities’ – is discussed in two consecu-

tive sessions with the help of (a) classical social scientific texts and (b) specific case studies. The main requirements for

taking the course are the submission of comments on the weekly readings (25%), active participation in the seminars

(25%), and the writing of a final essay of 3000 words (50%).

Propädeutikum Introduction to Sociology and Scientific Work

Heather Hofmeister

Link to seminar

Courses description

In this course we want to lay the foundation for a successful and rewarding sociological study for all our incoming

students! How do sociologists see the world? What do they do? Which themes do they focus on? How is sociology

different from other subjects? What professions do sociologists work in? We’re going to look at core concepts, theo-

ries, and terms in the field of sociology. At the end of the semester, we expect that students understand core tradi-

tions in sociology and how sociologists work and see the world. Our long term goal is that graduates of Sociology from

the Goethe-University in Frankfurt can apply various perspectives to understand, analyze, explain, and create solu-

tions for complex social and interpersonal issues.

Requirements for the Introductory Lecture (Propädeutikum) are an interest in sociology and the willingness to attend

and participate actively and constructively, having read the texts and completed the assignments on time. The English

language is important in Germany, Europe and internationally in science and sociology, as well as in business, politics,

and arts. Therefore we are going to use this training and have English and German as core languages in the course.

Public Opinion in New and Established Democracies

Sergiu Gherghina

Link to seminar

Courses description

This course examines the sources, development and consequences of public opinion in new and established democra-

cies over the last four decades. it will discuss how to define and conceptualize public opinion (what it is) in different

settings, what are its origins (where do people’s attitudes and opinions come from), how public opinion changes over

time and how it varies across countries or levels (national vs. local), and whether public opinion influences policy-

making and representatives’ behavior. The course combines theoretical and empirical approaches with an emphasis of

active participation of students. At the end of this course it is expected that students will: 1) learn how to apply politi-

cal science theories to the formation of public opinion, 2) understand what public opinion is and how to analyze its

developments and 3) explain the extent to which public opinion has consequences for political systems and societies.

Courses description Please register by 05.10.2016 with an e-mail to: [email protected], including a tenlines moti-

vation statement (attached as a separate file) in which you give reasons why you would like to attend the course.

Note that the maximum number of participants is 40.

Please, send in your e-mail also following information: first name - surname - matriculation number - course of studies

- semester, as subject: the name of the course

Over the last decades, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) has become always more diffused in political science

and sociology applications. QCA belongs to the group of case study methods and can be seen as the most systematic

form of case comparison. It is based on principles from set theory and allows to identify in how far causal conditions

can count as sufficient and / or necessary for given outcomes.

The objectives of this course are

a. to render the participants familiar with basic and advanced knowledge about QCA as a research technique;

b. to discuss QCA as a research design within the realm of comparative methods; and

c. to illustrate the major principles and logics of comparative thinking in general. Furthermore, since QCA is an

important element of the instructor’s and his team’s work, this course also prepares for eventual subsequent

collaboration opportunities.

The course starts with a general overview of QCA and set theory and its basic notions of sufficiency and necessity.

Subsequently, two problems will be discussed which usually occur when neat formal logic encounters the complex

social world to be analyzed, namely causal inconsistency and limited diversity. After this, we will concentrate on po-

tential pitfalls in QCA analyses and learn about possible extensions of the original concept. During a software work-

shop, participants will be trained in the use of the software package R (freeware) and its application to QCA questions.

The course will be based on the textbook: Schneider, Carsten Q. and Claudius Wagemann (2012). Set-Theoretic Meth-

ods for the Social Sciences. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. The textbook just serves as a reference in case

something has not been properly understood.

The course will be held in English. For the software workshop, participants are asked to install R on their laptop com-

puters. Note that the software part will not be held in a computer lab so that every participant has to bring her/his

laptop.

Research Design

Claudius Wagemann

Link to seminar

Courses description The success of a research project also depends on its design. Often, the preparatory decisions already define which

purposes a research project can fulfil. Therefore, design considerations are an important step of every research pro-

ject.

The objectives of this course are to introduce the participants to the social science literature on research design topics

and, therefore, to also give an overview of contemporary methodological debates. Indeed, both political science and

sociology consider methodology to be an important sub-discipline. This course is empirically oriented, with a strong

focus on (comparative) case study research. Due to the instructor’s substantial competence, most empirical examples

will be taken from political science. Nevertheless, all empirical researchers (no matter whether qualitatively or quanti-

tatively oriented) can benefit from the course. Note that interpretative or mainly normatively or theoretically inter-

ested research designs will not be taught.

After placing the discussion on research designs in the disciplines of political science and sociology, the course first

concentrates on the three design options of a (small-N) case study, comparative research designs, and quantitative

approaches. Subsequently, some phases of the research cycles which seem to be of special importance will be intro-



https://qis.server.uni-frank-furt.de/qisserver/rds?state=verpublish&status=init&vmfile=no&publishid=204689&moduleCall=webInfo&publishConfFile=webInfo&publishSubDir=veranstaltung


duced. A final session will draw the argument together and discuss what a good research design can be, and how to

integrate various approaches.

The course program indicates various readings which will be provided online; students who are registered for this

course will receive an e-mail with indications at the beginning of the semester It is indispensable that the texts are

read before the respective session. Note that there are also readings for the first session.

This course ends before the Christmas break and is therefore three hours per week

The regulation of financial markets: sociological and political economy perspectives

Matthias Thiemann

Link to seminar

Courses description The regulation of financial markets: sociological and political economy perspectives

This class approaches financial markets from an explicitly social constructivist perspective. After briefly reviewing the

literature on the role of the state and conventions in these markets (Pistor 2013, Ingham 2004, 2008), the class seeks

to address three issues:

1. How can we understood the strong growth of financial markets that we witness since the breakdown of Bretton

Woods and which role do states play in this re-emergence of finance? In this segment, we will review work on fi-

nancialization (e.g. Krippner 2011) and the international political economy literature on the re-emergence of fi-

nance, starting with Helleiner (1994).

2. How can the pace of financial innovation since the 1970s be explained by on the one hand the introduction of

new financial models and techniques and on the other hand by international competitiveness considerations of

states? In this segment we will review the literature on performativity of models, on the capacity of the regulated

to circumvent regulation and its impact on regulators.

3. How did the crisis change the dynamics or do we observe a continuation of trends pre-crisis driven by competi-

tiveness considerations of states? Is there a paradigm shift in the regulation of financial markets? And which are

the actors to impose it?

Courses description In past decades the nature of work has changed dramatically in Germany and around the globe. This seminar will take

a closer look at three trends in particular: the rise of a-typical work, decline of firm-internal job opportunities and

changing organization of work itself. We will discuss different theoretical perspectives on why these changes occurred

and examine potential consequences on today’s workforce.
