"Methodology" is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. In approaching a branch of knowledge in academia, we inevitably engage with a language of power that distinguishes public knowledge from the scholarly one. By forming and reforming methodologies, we aim to problematize this distinction by continuously asking: How do we develop research that serves to deconstruct the binary sexuality or normative genders? How do we speak the “truth” and make the intersecting systems of oppression and social injustice visible to the people? How do we write/research on LGBTQ subjects and social movements within the academia’s normative framework?
This seminar will explore the limits and possibilities of “queerly” writing and research from a multi-disciplinary angle by focusing on seven individual student projects that form and reform methodologies within the field of gender and sexuality studies. By challenging the separation between theory and practice, our goal is to create a platform to share how junior scholars write and research.
Lectures will be held online bi-weekly (twice a month), and each session will include two speakers. Over the course of 7 weeks, 14 speakers will get a chance to present their papers. While it will be offered to HU students in the modules Free Choice and ÜWP (überfachlicher wahlpflichtbereich with 4 LP), the lectures are also open to the public.
Speakers: Lisa Eisold, Hannah Martin, Shannon O‘Rourke, Anna Wim, Korina Pavlidou, Diego Galdo Gonzalez, Maike Wagner, Paula Stiegler, Charmaine Poh, Sarah Godfrey, Lottie Sebes, Cru Encarnaçãoenrolment key: remet (or re-met)
