UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This teaching unit will introduce students to the philosophy and practice of participating research. It will accompany students in their own research practice through an active and reflexive pedagogy that will stimulate their empirical, theoretical and ethical questions.
Particular attention will be paid to the fundamental principles and concepts of a prospective and involved anthropology of gender, kinship and sexuality. Iconic ethnological research will be presented.
The course will also develop the knowledge, skills and know-how of urban anthropology students. The key concepts will be concretely reformulated through case studies.
