The aim of this course is to enable students to critically engage with emerging theoretical approaches, contemporary debates, and new research agendas in Security Studies. The course seeks to develop students' ability to analyse security from diverse epistemological and methodological perspectives, critically evaluate existing scholarship, and contribute to original academic research in the field.
This course examines emerging theoretical approaches and contemporary research agendas in Security Studies. Topics include critical security studies, new developments in securitization theory, security practices, feminist and postcolonial approaches, ontological security, emotions and everyday security, as well as debates on risk, resilience, and technology-driven security. The course encourages students to critically engage with contemporary security literature and to incorporate recent theoretical developments into their own academic research.
