Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar starts with observations on everyday culture and open questions on how to participate in it. Taking different concepts of culture into consideration, we will ask how education and culture are intertwined and how to do research in this particular field.
Leading questions during the course are
- How can we and how do we participate in culture?
- Who are the main actors in cultural settings? Are there particular ones or are we all public actors?
- (How) Can we identify ourselves with sociocultural settings we experience every day? Are there "others" that can be named?
Next to more theoretical considerations, students are asked to do some field work by taking pictures of their everyday life. Using photo voice as method, we analyse the possibility of narrating in visuals, asking what we present and represent in photography. Is photo voice, a method "known to empower" marginalised groups, a sufficient way to display (sociocultural) narrations?

Assessment and permitted materials

- two written assignments (hand in on May, 4th and May, 25th; 20% each),
- taking active part in analysing visuals in class (20%),
- writing and hand in research diary including all the pictures taken for class and including a reflection on narration in visuals and your own research process, and including a discussion on the use of visuals in education research (40%).
