Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Content and objectives:
Leaning on the assumption that education is inherently political, the intersection of comparative education and politics stands out as one of the enriching areas of exploration. The impact of globalization and world-wide neoliberal policies along with domestic interventions on the autonomy of actors in education reveals the traces of influences of politics in the field of education. In this framework, the course titled “Education and Politics” will revolve around several concepts such as globalization, neoliberalism and education, means of educational policymaking, internationalization, autonomy, and academic freedom. Hence, this course targets to introduce the key global and local political actors and institutions forming education policy and supply students with a medium for a critical perspective, reflection, and debate.
The seminar also enables students to have experience in a non-university internship field which should be organized independently and discussed in advance with the course director. However, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it might be difficult to find and conduct a field internship, or students might wish to join a research project in accordance with the course themes. In this case, research projects will be organized and students will have their internship credits via research activities.

Methods: Lectures (introduction of the theories and concepts by the course director), discussions, reflection pieces, group work assignments, presentations, and regular feedback on readings.
