Teaching

The department is happy to offer macrosociological teaching beyond national borders. In the winter semester, students can attend the lecture "Social Structure Analysis in a Globalized World". In addition, seminars with changing macrosociological, comparative or time-diagnostic topics are offered in the summer and winter semesters.

The Department of Macrosociology conducts state examinations in core studies and in Politics & Economics.

Jenny Preunkert conducts oral and written examinations on topics of social structure analysis and inequality research with a special focus on educational issues. The examinations can be taken without attending one of her courses. However, attendance of the lecture "Social Structure Analysis in a Globalized World", which is always offered in the winter semester, is recommended. It is also possible to be examined on the topics of the seminar after successfully attending one of her courses (minimum academic achievement).

At the Department of Macrosociology, Jenny Preunkert can supervise Bachelor's and Master's theses as well as academic term papers (teaching degree). Mainly theses with an empirical focus are supervised. Purely theoretical theses are only possible by arrangement. Theses that fall within the subject areas of our research interests can be supervised.

If you are interested in a supervision relationship, please first clarify with the desired supervisor whether there is still capacity. If this is the case, please send a 2-page synopsis with the ideas for the thesis and approx. five references to the desired supervisor. Your research interest should be clear in the synopsis. To do this, you should formulate answers to the following questions: what topic do you want to work on, what is a possible initial question, what is the sociological relevance of the topic, what could be relevant theories and existing studies, what previous knowledge do you have?
