Course content:
The seminar will focus on developing and conducting small field studies. The students will look for cultural institutions or cases - for example, they will examine follow-up projects to documenta 15 in Kassel or a festival in crisis - in order to develop a small field study. They visit the cases on site, conduct interviews, meet experts and collect data.
The cases are selected individually or in small groups. In the seminar, they will be guided to conduct such field studies.
Educational objective:
The students learn to define a problem situation, to transfer this into scientifically workable problems, to select and apply the methods and theories necessary to work on the problems, and then to reflect the results of their work to their practice partners in the form of a presentation or a publication.
