The course Quantitative Methods introduces graduate students to quantitative methods in political science research. In this blogpost, we describe a variety of innovative approaches that we used to address the unique challenges of online teaching in the times of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This includes the use of diverse teaching formats, an online support infrastructure, a variety of approaches to facilitate academic and social interactions both in and outside the virtual classroom, and a rigorous commitment to open science practices.

Extremismus, Fundamentalismus, Islamismus, Islamophobie oder Islamkritik sind allesamt umstrittene Begriffe, die in öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskursen inhaltlich unterschiedlich ausgedeutet werden. Diskussionen über solche "Kernbegriffe" sind unerlässlich. Um gemeinsam wissenschaftlich arbeiten zu können, muss aber ein gemeinsames Verständnis über die verwendeten Begriffe und ihre Definition gefunden werden. Dieser Blogbeitrag plädiert für einen pragmatischen Umgang mit Begriffen und Definitionen und zeigt dies exemplarisch an dem Begriff "Islamismus".

Der Beitrag Umstrittene Begriffe pragmatisch definieren: Beispiel "Islamismus" erschien zuerst auf PRIF BLOG.

Research on extremism and related phenomena such as radicalization or terrorism is emotionally demanding and can even become dangerous, in part because it frequently means engaging with intense, and at times violent, societal conflict. The most recent escalation in the Israel-Palestine conflict is a poignant example of this, in which researchers specialized in antisemitism, Islamophobia, or Islamist and right-wing extremism are expected to keep up with fast-paced developments while simultaneously navigating the emotional impact of unfolding violence. This blog post highlights the difficulties researchers face in this field and proposes suggestions for addressing these challenges at the institutional and structural levels.

Der Beitrag How can research on topics surrounding radicalization, extremism, and terrorism be safe and socially sustainable? erschien zuerst auf PRIF BLOG.

Across North America, May 5 is a day to commemorate the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, and gender diverse people. Beyond giving space for remembrance and mourning, May 5 is connected to the aims of building knowledge, raising public awareness, stimulating solidarity and underlining the need for action to end the disproportionate deadly violence. While politics and the judicial system are reminded on this day to deliver rights and justice, another important factor for change should also gain attention: the collective imagery of the Indigenous needs to be decolonized to transform the systemic structures of violence.
