• You reflect critically on and evaluate your research project and issues of ethics and scientific integrity, particularly regarding the relation between the selected methodologies and the nature of the collected data.
• You reflect on the implications of your research findings regarding particular questions of solidarity, concerning  both the theoretical and societal significance.
• You structure, report on and present your research results in logical, attractive, ethically responsible and comprehensible ways, appropriate to the audience for which it is composed.

In this course, you learn to reflect critically on your research findings with regard to particular questions of solidarity and make these findings available and understandable for relevant interested parties. Central issues that you need to consider are: the type of material that constitutes the research results; the relation between this data and the (original) research questions; the methodology that has been employed during the research; the implications of the results, not only for the analytical questions but also for the research participants and other stakeholders in the study; and the way that results can be structured and reported in a logical, convincing, attractive and ethically responsible way?

The course is paired with the guidance provided by the individual supervisors. Through weekly seminars it supports a rigorous writing regime, working towards the write-up of the Master thesis.

In tandem with the Master thesis, you write a policy brief in which the findings are made available and understandable for relevant interested parties. You also present your findings in a final ‘Shifting Solidarities’ panel session to interested societal parties.
