Teaching methodology, philosophy and social theory in Area Studies
Scottish CILT
University of Stirling
4 February 2004
10.30-16.00
A workshop to explore the teaching of research methods in Area Studies
disciplines. Given the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of
Area Studies, what are the implications for the teaching of methodologies,
social theory, philosophy etc. Is there an Area Studies approach which
encompasses the conventions of its constituent disciplines? How does this
impact on the teaching and learning in Area Studies?
A whole range of philosophical perspectives and individual theorists are
used in a variety of disciplines. However, different disciplines use these
in different ways. Therefore, how can these be taught to students on
multidisciplinary Area Studies programmes?
Confirmed speakers:
Finding the female voice : theory and practice in the reading of Czech,
Polish and Russian Women's Writing Margaret Tejerizo (Slavonic Studies,
University of Glasgow)
