Geo-ethical Perspectives on Cultural and Spatial Phenomena in an Entangled World
Students learn about the most important theoretical accesses to geo-ethical perspectives on cultural and human geographical issues in the context of globalisation; they will acquire skills enabling them to understand theoretical perspectives and to independently transfer them to current problem areas. Therefore, students develop the ability to critically and reflexively design, present and defend their own theoretical positions on the basis of arguments. The mutually dependent written works, i.e. essay and paper, strengthen the participants’ reading and writing skills.
The course is an interdisciplinary seminar. We cooperate from the perspective of different disciplines, particularly human geography and social ethics (theology and philosophy). For each session participants have to read a paper which will be discussed intensively. During the session, students will give an interdisciplinary introduction to these papers and structure the discussion (max. 30 minutes). Each session will be concluded by a joint evaluation. The duration of each session is slightly longer than usually (2:15pm-4pm).
