Increasingly, civil society work is taking place across borders and continents. This is particularly true for Africa.

This seminar is exemplary for the transnationality of civil society and its research. The focus will be on social movements, a certain type of civil society organisation. The study of civil society can be approached methodologically in different ways. In this seminar, students will develop a deep understanding of the concept of civil society through case studies and specifically expand their knowledge in the field of sub-Saharan Africa. This methodology allows students to obtain a well-rounded picture of the respective cases and also gives them the opportunity to practice working in research groups. In-depth knowledge of the social sciences is not required. Students from different disciplines are invited to attend the course.
