Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides an introduction to the field of Critical Whiteness Studies by looking at the genealogy of this research area as well as its relevance to other fields, such as Education, Critical Pedagogy, and Sociology. The class also sets out to question and critically reflect the students? own identity positions and standpoints as white (or non-white) individuals and how this awareness helps to look at society in different ways. While most scholarly literature and media examples will be taken from a U.S. context, we will also attempt to see how whiteness needs to be seen differently in a European context, specifically in Austria and Germany. The class thereby also establishes the relevance for critical awareness of white privilege beyond the United States. This is particularly important in light of increasingly diversified classrooms which require teachers? sensibility for their personal blind spots with regards to their own whiteness. ?Making Whiteness Visible? is thus a class that seeks to blend theoretical concepts with practical applications for the students? own teaching and learning environments, particularly in contexts of multicultural education.

The methodology of this course is based on critical pedagogy. In addition to short input phases by the course instructor, which will explain and contextualize relevant theories and historical contexts, you are expected to actively participate in class dialogue and group activities. In a blended-learning format we will use the LMS Moodle for collaborative work, to extend the conversation beyond the classroom, and to help you with your individual learning process. Overall, this course is designed as an interactive classroom where you will be constantly provoked to engage in critical thinking, which will assist you in coming to terms with your own experiences inside and outside the classroom that are informed by your own standpoint in society.
