The seminar will cover some classic and new perspectives in intercultural studies. We will get to know different theoretical concepts of culture, discuss them and try to identify their basic ideas and conclusions.
In the practical part, we will get to know some empirical approaches to researching culture. We will familiarize ourselves with the individual steps of empirically based intercultural research. Each student will have the opportunity to conduct their own research in the field of intercultural studies. Last update: Lütke Notarp Ulrike, Dr. phil. habil., Ph.D. (15.09.2024)
