Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

As an ideology and economic policy paradigm neoliberalism has been immensely altering the area of education not only through policy changes but also with its set of values impacting approaches towards learning and teaching. Within this perspective, this course focuses on scrutinizing the concept of neoliberalism and its impacts and consequences on the area of education mainly teaching/learning policies with an international comparative perspective. It examines cross-national subjects in an analytical framework such as but not limited to neoliberal transformations in society and specifically in education; privatization policies and commodification of education; teachers and changing teaching roles in the neoliberal era; policies regarding performance, performativity and professionalization and last but not the least neoliberalism in higher education. Adopting a critical perspective, this course aims at improving the analytical skills of students leaning on various texts written on different cases in the world and it will encourage students to participate in enriching critical discussions over these texts and prepare reflections on them.

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