									<p>The course runs over three days, with a programme that consists in a mix between expert lectures, PhD presentations, individual feed-back, and group discussions. Five human rights experts will give presentations on different methodological issues in contemporary human rights research, including legal methodologies; quantitative methods; sociological and anthropological approaches; policy and research; and interdisciplinarity. PhD participants will present methodological and methodical aspects of their PhD projects and will receive detailed feed-back from one expert. Other experts and peer participants will provide additional comments and feed-back to the individual presentations.</p>
<p><strong>Academic Aim</strong><br> The purpose of this course is to introduce and discuss different methodical and methodological approaches to human rights research. Human rights research is a complex field, including several different disciplines within law, social sciences, and humanities. The research field has been expanding over the past decades and is today characterized by a high level of multi- and interdisciplinarity. The course aims to 1) provide participants with an overview of key methodological and methodical developments within the field of contemporary human rights research; 2) discuss each participant’s methodological and methodical choices; and 3) provide the participants with support and guidelines for good research practices in this field.</p>
<p><strong>Target group</strong><br> The course is open to PhD students from law, social sciences, and humanities who are working on human rights related topics. The course can accommodate approx. 15 participants. If we receive more than 15 applications, we will select participants based on 1) the quality of their paper abstract; 2) the topic of their human rights research; and 3) their discipline, aiming for a high-quality, multi-disciplinary group of participants.</p>
