Learning outcomes
|
On the example of texts, especially about Roma groups, to introduce students to the anthropological approaches to marginalization and to make them reflect on the social hierarchy in their own research. Students will be able to recognize and name the main discourses that compete for the definition of marginalized groups. Anthropological approaches will be illustrated on topics ranging from classical topics such as survival strategies to the policies of international actors and the feminism of "minorities". Seminars will focus on the comparison of texts, consultations on the creation of non-stereotypical professional essays. Students should get the competence of critical reading and working with texts.
Students will gain knowledge of anthropological approaches in Romani studies. These approaches will be illustrated through topics ranging from survival strategies to the policies of international actors.
