Module structure

In this module, students acquire in-depth knowledge of the manifestations, definitions and mechanisms of antisemitism. In addition to an interdisciplinary examination of central concepts and empirical findings of antisemitism research, a special focus is placed on differentiating it from other forms of discrimination such as racism. The reflection of psychosocial and social starting points as well as the pedagogical adaptation of the content for the school context form central components of the module. In addition, facets of Jewish life are presented in order to promote a comprehensive understanding.

This module teaches practice-oriented didactic and pedagogical approaches to criticising antisemitism in a school context. Building on the knowledge acquired in the foundation module, there is an in-depth examination of fields of action, prevention strategies and areas of tension in critical education on antisemitism. In the seminar, a special focus is placed on the application of theoretical concepts, while practical methods and approaches for use in schools are tested and reflected upon in the accompanying exercise.

This module focuses on the practical adaptation and further development of educational strategies critical of antisemitism in the context of digital education. A central focus is on analysing digital platforms and their potential to support or hinder education that is critical of antisemitism. The module promotes the development of a reflective, critical of antisemitism professional habitus and prepares students for the pedagogical challenges in the digital space.
