EUST4113: Theories and Methods in European Studies
2020 unit information
In this unit, students will learn to think about the nature of research, and especially research in European Studies, and learn techniques for preparing their Honours thesis. In order to realise this objective, we will survey the major research questions, directions, approaches and assumptions about 'Europe' that have developed in the humanities and social sciences since the end of World War II. This material will include, but not be limited to, the specific field of European integration studies.
