Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The "Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005 - 2013", the European Unions big integration project, is slowly approaching its end (http://www.romadecade.org/). It has been already clear by now, that the project will have problems to fully deliver its goals. The otherwise well-intended integration programme was meant to reduce poverty and other forms of inequality among European populations of Roma, Sinti and other groups often called as "Gypsies." This course is intended not only as a critical evaluation of the predicament of Roma/Gypsy populations in contemporary Europe, but also as a critical investigation into historical and contemporary conditions that make the "durable marginality" of European Roma possible (and which prevent the fulfilment of the goals of the Decade). This course is intended as a learning/sharing platform for those seriously interested in various perspectives from which social sciences, and sociology in particular, can conceptualize the topic and conduct research in the field of "Roma issues". Drawing from theories and empirical investigations in anthropology, sociology and geography, the course will examine various dimensions through which European Roma have been excluded from full participation in the dominant societies, while paying attention to ways these people have been responding to their predicament.
