Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to how society comes to terms with its past through music and theatre at local, national and global levels, how collective memory is constructed, and how identities, practices and norms are constructed through the production of knowledge. Against the backdrop of interdisciplinary foundational research from the long 19th century, students will be able to reflect together on how cultural history shapes and transforms today's global challenges such as migration, discrimination, and social polarization. By creating databases, students will learn new digital skills.
