Weber, Taylor, Luhmann, Scott). The seminar also introduces students to crucial organisational processes such as specialisation and coordination, micro politics and decision-making processes and the interaction between the organisation and its environment. The seminar grants insights in varieties of organisations and enables students to analyse their core characteristics and the inherent processes.

1.07.251	Schwerpunkt Arbeitsmarkt: Inequalities and their Political Consequence (Lehrsprache Englisch, Prüfungsleistung Deutsch oder Englisch)/Advanced Topics in Political Science Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 17/10/23) Description: What effects does labor market inequality have on politics? Does working-class affiliation still influence voting behavior, or do other factors play a greater role? How does this affect the electoral success and vote-seeking strategy of parties? In this seminar, we shed light on these, among others, questions. The seminar will focus on the effects of (labor market) inequalities on the main political actors, that are parties and voters. The seminar is divided into three blocks. First, we look at labor market inequalities and their effects on voters' political behavior and attitudes. In the second part of the seminar we will look at the consequences for political parties and their strategies. In the third part, we will look at political representation and inequality and their effects on democracy. In addition to the content of these topics, you will also learn how to deal independently with relevant literature and current research as well as how to think analytically about relevant questions of politics and political science.

1.02.033	Special Education and Rehabilitation in different life phases. Focus: Multilingualism Tuesday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 17/10/23) Description: This seminar addresses the diverse aspects of individual, institutional, and societal multilingualism within the context of inclusive education. We will explore different facets of multilingualism, including multilingual language acquisition, intersectional approaches to language, and practical strategies for working with multilingual children with special educational needs. The seminar will also take a close look at the topic of language discrimination (linguicism) in society, educational institutions, and in our own attitudes. By analyzing the intersection between language and discrimination, we will explore how we can create inclusive and equitable learning environments. Both mono- and multilingual participants are encouraged to reflect on their knowledge and beliefs regarding linguistic diversity. All students, including those participating in Erasmus programs, are welcome to join the seminar and share their experiences and perspectives, regardless of their English proficiency levels.
