Guest lecture – Monika Krause: “Theorizing from cases”

🌟 Join us for a thought-provoking lecture! 🌟
Topic: How do our selected cases influence the theories we develop?
In this insightful talk, Professor Monika Krause will delve into the relationship between case selection and theoretical work. Recognizing that social scientists often prioritize certain cases without fully understanding the implications, she will share strategies for more thoughtfully incorporating case studies into our theorizing.
🚀 Key Highlights:

• Conscious Use of Privileged Cases: How acknowledging and reflecting on these can enhance academic communities.
• Heuristic Value of Neglected Cases: Understanding how focusing on lesser-studied examples can refine our conceptual frameworks and lead to more nuanced critiques of social phenomena.
