The seminar is biweekly. The final oral exam will take place in the third week of January.
This course introduces contemporary issues in Critical Studies following the assumption that many contemporary security threats work through dispersed and decentered practices; this means that they are present in everyday practices and do not necessarily revolve around national security politics and institutions. This observation has methodological as well as normative consequences of how we need to approach the study of security. Questions of how to study how the everyday is shot through with security practices or how questions of justice and democracy are interlinked with security politics are thus central to this course. The course aims at giving an introduction into some main concepts and ideas that should allow students to then specify their interests later. A second goal of the class is to revise academic skills such as reading comprehension, formulating arguments and formulating research questions. These skills will be helpful for the rest of the M.A. studies. Poslední úprava: Monsees Linda, Dr. (02.09.2024)

This short course on security studies follows two aims. First, it introduces students to debates in European Security Studies and main concepts, ideas and distinctions that were influential over the past two decades and influence scholarship today. Second, we will practice a set of academic skills such as understanding academic arguments, presenting arguments and critically assessing academic positions.
