This course introduces students to the logics of empirical research as well as a range of methods in the study of religion as they are applied at CERES. We will learn how empirical research projects are designed and conducted, what distinguishes qualitative from historical-philological from digital humanities methods, and why methods are necessary in the first place. As an overview, this introductory course equips students for more in-depth methods courses to follow later in the degree program.
