Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Social movements are considered catalysts of social change. This seminar focuses on social movements as education policy actors and aims to analyze and compare the actors, agendas, strategies, and media as well as the impact of their actions on education policy and society from an historical and international comparative perspective. The seminar will understand social movements as sites of education that initiate and foster learning processes not only for society, but also for the movement’s participants. Using current and historical case studies of student movements from Europe, the U.S., and the Global South, students will learn and apply theoretical and methodological tools to study these movements.
