Abstract

Gemeinsam mit Ute Wardenga gestalten die in der Abteilung Theorie, Methodik und Geschichte der Geographie des IfL beschäftigten Postdocs und Doktoranden seit mittlerweile vier Jahren in jedem Wintersemester ein Seminar oder Tutorium für Studierende des Masterstudiengangs Global Studies der Universität Leipzig zu Methoden wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens. In beiden Formaten veranschaulichen wir die Theorie anhand der wissenschaftlichen Praxis am IfL, um den Studierenden den Forschungsalltag näher zu bringen.
