Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course introduces students to key theoretical and empirical approaches in the field of gender and sexuality studies, with a focus on the reproduction of social inequalities through educational systems. Students will read feminist, queer, and anti-racist foundational texts that critically reflect on how notions of sameness and difference frame the interlocking of social institutions (family, school, religion, government). Emphasis in analysis will be: intersectionality, heteronormativity, gender and sexual identities, economic injustice, and various types of discrimination in society. Major themes for the course are gender and sexuality, but a significant part of the course content deals with ethnographic methods and research for the practicum. Research topics include but are not limited to: Educational systems and the reproduction of heteronormative ideals; curriculum development and sexual education; the division of public and private spaces; gender-reflective language and non-binary realities. Collaborative reflection work will focus particularly on educational issues of gender and sexuality. Seminar readings will consist of both German and English texts. Written work, however, can be submitted in either language.
