The course will deepen students’ knowledge about feminist epistemologies, academic writing and interdisciplinary research methods. This course will provide students with experience and knowledge in how to apply and problematize interdisciplinary feminist research methods in their own projects, such as their own master’s thesis. Throughout the course, students will examine their own research principles and develop a feminist methodological approach to their own research projects. Active participation by students in seminars is vital to complete course. The course is taught in English.
At the end of the course the student shall have the ability to:
To be admitted to the course applicants must have completed three semesters of full time studies, equivalent to 90 ECTS, of which at least 15 ECTS must be an independent project or four semesters of full time studies equivalent to 120 ECTS.
English proficiency equivalent to English A from Swedish Upper secondary education.
The course is a full time on-line course in English. The course is taught entirely through an electronic Learning Management System where the student takes part in lectures, mandatory assignments and other learning activities. The studies are characterized by a high degree of independent and active search for knowledge, and critical reflection, both individually and in groups.
The course will be examined successively through active participation in seminars, and through individual oral, and written examinations. The examination consists of a written assignment. For the course as a whole, the following grades are given: Fail (U), Pass (G) and Pass with distinction (VG). In order to be awarded Pass for the entire course, it is necessary that all examinations and all compulsory teaching sessions have been passed. A re-sit examination can be offered at the earliest ten days and at the latest three months after publishing information about the first examination. One more examination will be offered within the next year. A student who has passed the examination is not eligible for a new examination to raise grades. The option of a re-examination based on the original course syllabus will be available for at least two years after a student registered for the course. All in all, a student is given five chances of fulfilling the course examination. A student has the right to change examiner after failing two examinations for a course module, unless there are strong arguments against this.
