Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is aimed at developing a practice based understanding of Audre Lorde's Philosophy. We will travel through some of her significant texts mentioned below to understand key aspects of her thinking and practice in order to apply these readings to our own practice and class assignments.

The course will be held in English. In case a student is limited by language, media competence or a learning difficulty, changes can be made to the method and assessments on a case-by-case basis. To take those needs and further questions into account, you can write to the instructor and request a meeting. The structure, resources, weekly plan, readings and assignment submissions will be made available on Moodle.
