Series of lectures on intersectional sensitivity using the example of research in teacher training
Winter semester 2022/23
The series of lectures ‘Intersectional Sensitivity’ is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on the didactics of special educational needs, music education and the teaching of philosophy: The content of the six lectures centres on the key themes of diversity, inclusion, migration and multilingualism, intersectional research methods, aesthetic subjects such as music (and music education) and gender.
The aims of the lecture series are to clarify the concept of intersectionality, to establish a theoretical and methodological foundation, and to create a forum for discussion. The lecture series was developed as part of the diversity audit process at the University of Oldenburg within the framework of a project group on ‘diversity-sensitive research’ and implemented by three early-career researchers from the Research Training Group ‘Teacher Education 2040’ (who are also members of the Intersectional Sensitivity Research Cluster). The DiZ Research Academy provides the organisational framework for its delivery.
The interdisciplinary nature of the series of lectures provides, on the one hand, a wide range of insights into intersectionality research. On the other hand, participants learn about the significance of intersectionality for educational research and practice from various perspectives. A further aim is to raise awareness of diversity-sensitive research approaches and methods. Networking between early-career researchers and visiting scholars with a view to future co-operations is also a desirable and sought-after outcome. To this end, some of the speakers will also be offering workshops or seminars for PhD students.
The first event on 25 October 2022 will be opened by Prof. Dr Annett Thiele , who will deliver a welcome address in her capacity as Vice-President for Early-Career Researchers, Gender equality and Diversity (and Professor of Education for Individuals with Physical and Motor Developmental Impairments and Chronic and Progressive Conditions).
The public events in the series of lectures will take place on the specified dates from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm in the BIS Hall (Library Hall) on the Haarentor campus (Uhlhornsweg). Registration is not required.
Topics and dates
1 "Diversity sensitivity in society and educational institutions"
Tuesday, 25 October 2022: Prof. Dr Karim Fereidooni
In his lecture entitled "Diversity sensitivity in society and educational institutions", Prof. Dr Karim Fereidooni addresses the intersectional construction of 'normality' in our society and in various educational institutions and problematises this construction process because it creates exclusions. He will also present various theories and studies on the topic of diversity sensitivity and present measures that are designed to deal constructively with diversity. The second part of the presentation will look at what 'migration background' has to do with school (mis)success.
Karim Fereidooni is Junior Professor of Didactics of Social Science Education at the Ruhr University Bochum
Prof Dr Annett Thiele will kick off the first event with a welcoming speech as Vice President for Young Academics, Gender equality and Diversity (as well as Professor of Pedagogy for Impairments of Physical and Motor Development and Chronic and Progressive Diseases).
2 "Methodological challenges of ethnographic intersectionality research"
Tuesday, 08 November 2022: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Budde
In the second lecture, the focus will be on schools and teaching in Germany from an intersectional perspective. The heterogeneity of the student body in relation to the prevailing understandings of normativity in schools could also be addressed.
Jürgen Budde is Professor of School Pedagogy at the University of Flensburg
3. "Pedagogical professionalism in the migration society"
Tuesday, 06 December 2022: Prof. Dr Yasemin Karakaşoğlu
The third lecture will deal thematically with intersectional issues of migration, for example with regard to disability or social inequalities.
Yasemin Karakaşoğlu is Professor of Intercultural Education at the University of Bremen
4 "Intersectionality and capitalism: subject-oriented research with the intersectional multi-level approach"
Catch-up date: Tuesday, 25 April 2023: Dr Kathrin Ganz !!!CANCELLED!!!
The intersectional multi-level approach is a versatile tool for subject-centred and practice-oriented social research. Theoretically grounded in a feminist-materialist analysis of society, this approach enables empirical investigation into how intersectional social inequality is produced and challenged in social practice. The specific focus on the interplay between constructions of identity, symbolic representations and social structures raises awareness of intersectional social inequality in capitalist societies and can help to strengthen individual and collective agency.
In the spirit of sustainable learning, a supplementary workshop for early-career researchers (particularly those from the Research Training Group ‘Teacher Education 2040’) on 26 April 2023 . The workshop will be led by Dr Ganz and aims to provide specific methodological training focused on experimenting with and consolidating intersectional multi-level analysis. During the workshop, doctoral candidates’ specific research material will be analysed. Individual interpretations will be discussed objectively within the group.
Dr Kathrin Ganz is a research fellow in the Department of Social Economics at the University of Hamburg. Current project: ‘Sociology of Web3’. Key areas of focus: digitalisation, intersectionality, open-access publishing. Publications: ‘Intersectional Social Research’ (co-authored with Jette Hausotter, transcropt, 2020), ‘The Network Movement’ (Budrich, 2018).
5 "Accents of intersectional educational work in music education"
Tuesday, 17 January 2023: Prof Dr Johann Honnens
The fifth lecture will discuss and determine what contribution the aesthetic subjects can make to the intersectionality debate. This will be illustrated using the subject of music (education).
Johann Honnens is Professor of Music Education at the Cologne University of Music and Dance (HFMT)
6 "Intersectionality from the perspective of Diversity Education and Critical Diversity"
Tuesday, 31 January 2023: Prof Dr Rudolf Leiprecht
The concept of intersectionality is closely intertwined with gender studies and the research discipline draws on the theory and the intersectional perspective (see e.g. Intersectional Feminism; Crenshaw, 1989). In the sixth lecture, the connections between intersectionality and gender will be addressed. In addition, it will examine how actors can act in a more intersectional and gender-sensitive way and how teacher training can be organised accordingly.
Rudolf Leiprecht held the professorship for Social Pedagogy with a focus on Diversity Education at the University of Oldenburg until 30 September 2022. He has been 'retired' since 01.10.2022.
