Theory of Science and knowledge production in the humanities

Third-cycle level | 7.5 credits | Course code: HFVT301 | Course plan: https://fubasdoc.gu.se/fubas-filserver/pdf/FU-kurs/en/HFVT301
The course aims to give Ph.D. students tools that will give them the ability to reflect and situate their own knowledge production within both a disciplinary and an epistemic tradition, as well as within the current (inter)national research policy context. The course is comprised of three thematic sections (see Modules):
  • Module A: Different modes of scientific knowledge production, key-concepts within each mode, as well as what scientific claims made by each mode.
  • Module B: Epistemic and methodological positions with regards to the relationship between scientific knowledge and power, as well as how this relationship affects or even structures our understanding of what counts as relevant research and what kind of research questions that can be posed.
  • Module C: Current prerequisites for research, both within the humanities, as well as within other areas, with a specific focus on collaboration, democratization of research, and how the humanities are affected by research evaluations and research policies.
