Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this seminar is to discuss, analyze and criticize the contributions, limits and recent investigations developed in the field of Comparative and Entangled Education. The conceptualisation of the notions of ‘policy borrowing’, ‘educational transfer’ and ‘cultural transfer’ brought about a critical shift in the way the formation of national, or regional educational systems has been conceived. In fact, this led to a silent evolution in the practice of comparing, since it was no longer a question of drawing parallels between presumably closed spaces, but of acknowledging mediation – the role of a nation or a province (school authorities, philanthropists, teachers, missionaries, educators, travelers, etc.) in contributing to education and even identity-building of the other.
Um diesem Anspruch gerecht zu werden, sollen sich Studierende im Rahmen des Seminars unterschiedliche, hierfür geeignete Methoden (wie bspw. Vergleich, Transnationalismus, Kulturtransferforschung, métissages, entangled History, etc.) aneignen, jene selbstständig erproben und gemeinsam diskutieren. Des Weiteren zielt das Seminar auch darauf ab, Studierenden alle praktischen und theoretischen Werkzeuge zur Erstellung einer Masterarbeit bereitzustellen.
