LeidenGlobal Course ‘Methodologies’
Registration for the LeidenGlobal/LIAS Spring Course Methodologies in the Social Sciences and the Humanities for PhD and Research MA students is now open.
This twelve-week course organised by the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies in collaboration with LeidenGlobal allows beginning scholars to develop a critical understanding of methodologies in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Methodology refers to the logical and developed coherence between research question, theory and methods. Rather than a fixed set of rules, methodology is based in an ongoing conversation among scholars in the SSH on data collection and analysis. During this course participants engage in this conversation with their peers as well as experienced researchers in the SSH. In this course, based on conversations with each other and with experienced scholars, students learn about epistemological debates and choices available to them in their own research.
Deadline for registration is January 15th 2026.
