Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The discourse of multiculturalism may be conceived as one that enables us to confront the paradoxes of a world gone global. Multiculturalism struggles primarily with the possible meanings of concepts such as 'culture' and 'identity' as they evolve within the political spheres of democratic nations, particularly with respect to relationships among minority majority groups, and education. At present, the nature of these relationships is under attack from a variety of ethnic, religious, cultural, and national minorities that accuse nation-states of insensitivity to their particular needs and expectations and failure to accord them sufficient recognition. The challenges posed by these minorities call for immediate attention, as democratic states are at least rhetorically committed to the principle of equal representation for all citizens.
In the course we will present the basic tenants of the multicultural perspective and offer a critique of the multicultural discourse of policymakers and educators in the context of modern democracies from an anthropological perspective, underscoring the dangers of the reified conceptualization and use of the terms 'culture' and 'identity' while focusing on conflictual global realities.

In general encourage intellectual growth and critical perspectives in participating students, more in particular afford students the opportunity to critically consider basic paradigmatic assumptions as these relate multiculturalism and cultural sensitive education.
