Description
This course is a teaching and learning experiment linking together teaching staff from Strasbourg, Brazil and Chile. It decentralizes the classroom by integrating lecturers and students from diverse locations and academic traditions.
In this course, students analyze and deconstruct the idea of democracy through cross-teaching by professors from three different institutions and two different continents.The hybrid course format combines in-person and Zoom presence. One by one, the teachers present their scholarly work on democracy through the lens of their respective specialties and fields of study.
Through the frameworks provided by the professors, and in an oral dispute, students apply theoretical approaches to democracy and differentiate between coexisting usages of the term in diverse cultural contexts.
The course is organized in two parts: first, a question-and-answer session on the session's texts among the students to open a discussion with all members of the class; then, a theoretical contextualization by one of the teachers.
