Einführung in die Technikgeschichte: Themenfelder, Konzepte und aktuelle Debatten
Technology and society cannot be separated: No society functions without technology. The seminar offers a problem-oriented introduction to basic questions of the history of technology, introduces approaches to the history of technology and discusses selected, ongoing debates.
Students are given the opportunity to present drafts of their own master's thesis and discuss them within the framework of the colloquium. It does not matter whether students are in the preparatory phase or already in the midst of the writing process. The focus is on mutual peer feedback rather than subject-specific input from the faculty supervisor.
