Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: DIES IST DIE VORLESUNG UND NICHT DER CULTURAL STUDIES-KURS: SIE KÖNNEN NUR DIE VORLESUNG ODER DEN CULTURAL STUDIES-KURS BESUCHEN! Melden Sie sich in keinem Fall für beides an! The cultural studies course will consist of a weekly presentation (the "lecture") followed by a discussion section. It will deal with one of the key ideas of contemporary American Culture. Any mission statement on the website of American educational institutions or of corperation will certainly list diversity as one of their goals. What is meant by the term and how it is implemented will be discussed. We will look at websites as well as videos which promote the idea and also consider the controversies it has aroused, such as allotting quotas (e.g. for minorities or women) and whether the feel-well factor really contributes to corporate profit or the educational experience.
Zusätzliche Informationen: Please note that the 2 hour course consits of the lecture (45min) followed by a discussion section which will take a closer look at selected texts and issues raised during the lecture.
