The Chair of Urban Studies offers courses in the framework of contextual studies and at BA and MA level. All courses include an introduction into the perspective of and from the global South. With the help of interactive seminars and on the basis of concrete case studies, students acquire a theoretically thorough understanding of urban studies. Among others, seminars cover the topics of migration, suburbia, climate change and methods. Rita Kesselring supervises BA, MA and PhD projects that adopt a qualitative and empirical approach to urban studies or that fall within her other areas of expertise (mining, commodity trade, memory, victimhood, Southern Africa, intercountry adoptions, South-North interdependencies, among others). In order to qualify for supervision, students must have participated in at least one seminar offered by Urban Studies.
