Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Education is a crucial instrument in international development work and has been heralded for its positive effects on both economic development and improvement of human rights awareness. Yet, educational interventions have also been accused of colonizing and uprooting agendas, leading to the erasure of local cultures of knowing and learning. Additionally, conditional loans have exerted pressures on countries in the developing world to reorganize their educational systems, at times leading to a deterioration, rather than improvement, of educational provision. This course will look at both the histories of education and international development, as well as their present repercussions. We will work both with more theoretical approaches and with individual case studies.Ziele:1. Obtain knowledge regarding various theoretical and methodological approaches regarding education and international development.2. Develop an understanding of the interaction of education, schooling, and international development in particular with regard to marginalized and vulnerable groups.3. Ability to read, reflect upon and discuss English-language research literature and to conduct one's own research on existing literature on the topic.4. Ability to work on the research topics in a reflected manner, and to present these topics in both written and oral form.5. Ability to actively participate in seminar discussions and to provide feedback in both written and oral form.Methoden: Discussion, group work, presentations, and feedback sessions. In-depth investigation into research topics with the help of research literature. A detailed schedule containing more specific content and activities will be presented at the first meeting and provided in written form.
