Overview
About the course
Further, the Race and Racism in Germany and Europe - History, Concepts and Current Discourses course at Freie Universität Berlin will examine the various uses of terminology in the field and will particularly elaborate on the concept of ‘intersectionality’, studying racism and discrimination from this angle.
After gaining the theoretical lens for this course, we will engage with clear examples of different forms of racisms and discrimination such as Antisemitism, anti-Black racism, anti-Muslim racism or anti-Gypsyism. These examples will be analyzed and contextualized by looking at structural and societal problems of racism.
Finally, we will visit and hear from activists in Berlin dealing with the problem of racism and discrimination. Additionally, we will look into how governments and policy makers try to tackle racism within their own societies. Students will learn from this course the different concepts and forms of racism and will be able to apply this knowledge in future discussions by critically questioning processes and events in politics and society.
