The course is designed as the first introduction into still actual issues of the welfare state and is based on the reading and critical analysis of essential contributions to this field of study. The texts are selected not only according to variety of theoretical perspectives, especially epistemic ones, but also according to diversity of methodological approaches in narrower sense (quantitative - qualitative etc.) which developed in this area.
Participants are supposed to study one or two circa 25 page English texts for each class. These texts are available to all participants in the Moodle application. At the beginning of every class, the studied text is introduced into its historical and theoretical context by teacher.
