The course addresses the cross-disciplinary and trans-national aspects of research that place extra demands on research methods in data collection, sampling, comparative policy framework analysis, usage of terminology, ethical considerations, comparisons of discourses and ideological representations in a sometimes contested and controversial field of inquiry.
