Series of lectures in the summer semester 2021

The understanding of art education history in the German-speaking world is dominated by linear notions of history and perpetual narratives of success. The contributions to the series of lectures counter this understanding with other narratives and historical approaches. These are narratives about art education that consider socio-historical contexts, such as the history(ies) of coloniality, economy, gender and nationality - also in order to present some educational ideas that are today accepted as unquestionable successes in a more differentiated light. And also to take a look at some positions that are no longer visible or have been suppressed today.

The series of lectures takes place online on Fridays 10:15-11:45 and is open to the public on the dates indicated. Guests are welcome and can register by email to:
