X-ALT-DESC:

The social sciences in general and sociology in particular ar e language- and text-based sciences: they cannot express their results or\ , in the case of quantitative-statistical social research\, can only expre ss them to a limited extent through formalised abstract code and sign syst ems\, as those are reserved for the natural sciences. Nevertheless\, rules of linguistic form also prevail in sociology. However\, these remain most ly implicit\, and are rarely expressed. The rules are not limited to the j argon of individual theoretical languages: they encompass\, for example\, the legitimate forms of social scientific questions\, theses and hypothese s\, the structure of a text (from a student's term paper to a monograph)\, and sometimes determine the scientific adequacy of even the smallest form ulations.

During my teaching career over the last 7 years\, I have noticed that students have great problems in following these implicit rul es of writing. Even students who excelled during their studies struggled t o learn them through a process of trial and error. In the seminars on "sci entific work"\, however\, "scientific writing" was often not the subject. My research\, interviews and publications on writing in sociology therefor e aimed to trace these enunciated and hidden rules and procedures of writi ng.

\n

In order to counter this circumstance and to provide students with assistance in writing scientific (qualification) papers\, regardless of their progress in their studies\, I have designed the Sound of Science workshop with my colleague Roman Thurn. I have already successfully held t his workshop in the summer semester of 2021 with Roman Thurn at the Instit ute of Sociology at Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. The feedba ck from the students was so enthusiastic that I decided to present this co ncept at other universities as well.

\n

The workshop takes place on t wo consecutive days. On the first day\, we will discuss different aspects of writing in the social sciences. On the following day\, we will discuss the previously presented aspects using concrete case studies. For this pur pose\, participants are also invited to send extracts from their own term papers or dissertations so that together we can find the most appropriate writing approaches. The workshop will alternate between different contents such as presentations\, individual or group work.
