Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The primary intention of the seminar lies in the development of the subject knowledge as within the module, however also in the improvement and acquisition of required methodological competencies. The students will learn about diverse notions and conceptions around nation-state, citizenship and civid education and identify the underlying anthropologies and constructions of the human being. In the course of the seminar, the students will improve the skills of critical and problem-oriented reading of texts and sources, learn to historically contextualize the concepts of human being, and specifically the "citizen", as well as get acquainted with the “history of the present” approach to current developments in education through historical and cultural lens.

Assessment and permitted materials

Together with the regular presence at the class, the students have to get engaged with other activities in order to pass it: Continuous participation in the discussions throughout the course (25%), 50% of the grade is allocated to an oral presentation of the students. Instead of a final seminar thesis, there will be several smaller written reflections for homework throughout the course (25%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Please note that, while the discussion and presentations can be in German, the major part of the readings for this course will be in English.

Please also register on Moodle for an oral presentation topic beforehand.
