Module SHARING THE WORLD: EDUCATION, PLURALISM, AND CONFLICT

Module code: ED690
Credits: 10
Semester: Year-Long
Department: EDUCATION
International: No
Coordinator: Prof. Aislinn O'Donnell (EDUCATION)
Overview Overview
 

This module will address contemporary issues relating to difference, pluralism, inclusion, and identity. It will examine the relationship between education, concepts of pluralism and what it means to share the world. In so doing, it will address positions that may be understood as ‘extremist’ in that they seek purity of identity, are hostile to compromise, and are intolerant of difference. For this reason, particular attention is paid to racism. Key thinkers introduced in the course will include Glissant, Wynter, Andreotti, and Gilroy amongst others. The embodiment of ideas in practice can be challenging. This module will explore ‘how ideas feel’ and the investment in different positions on a personal and professional level, in terms of educational cultures, and institutionally. It offers a pedagogical and experiential framework to analyse and unpack injustices and exclusions, alongside skills to engage in difficult conversations. The course will introduce a range of creative pedagogical approaches to support educators in exploring and addressing these issues.
