Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The subject of the seminar is intersectional theories of inequality and space from the field of global inequality research and interdisciplinary urban research.
In the course of the seminar, we read and discuss various basic texts from the field of global inequality research. In the first step, we deal with the question of what is understood by inequalities, space, gender, and class. In the second step, we deal with theoretical debates and fields of application of development research in the thematic complex of space, power, gender, protest, and inequality.
Theory and empiricism are closely interrelated. In a second step, we, therefore, explore the question of how these theoretical concepts can be made empirically sound and fruitful for our analyses. One of these theories forms the basis for a small exemplary empirically based analysis of a selected topic area. In this seminar, students will become familiar with the interplay of theory and empiricism in the context of spatial theoretical inequality research. Through theoretical and practical exercises, they are introduced to the analysis as well as their own conception of empirical, spatial research. After successful completion of the course, they will be familiar with various theoretical concepts and theories of spatial inequality research and will be able to use them for empirical analyses.
By preparing excerpts, they will deal with relevant literature and deepen this in small groups as well as in the plenary discussion. During the first half of the seminar, the students conduct a small empirical survey and present it in the course of joint excursions in urban space. In the form of written spatial analysis, the nexus of theory and their own investigation is reflected upon.

Possible questions:
- How are global inequalities inscribed in urban space at the local level?
- How are global inequalities reproduced locally?
- Have inequalities been reproduced along the category of gender in urban planning and design?
- How are class and inequality reproduced in urban space?
- What colonial structures are visible in urban space?
- How do social movements fight inequalities? Which social movements act with which forms of protest?
