7 pm: “Toward a Transversal Pedagogy”; Discussion with Nikita Dhawan and María do Mar Castro Varela
In times, in which the public is increasingly confronted with an authoritarian body of thought, it is yet even more important to strengthen liberal and tolerant standpoints. An expanded educational system can contribute to that. One, which reflects the social conditions, in which the existing educational work is embedded. Coming from a decolonial standpoint and resting on work by W.E.B. DuBois and Gayatri Spivak, Nikita Dhawan and María do Mar Castro Varela will investigate the question of how current hegemonic structures can be reconfigured. They thereby call for a political and economic re-design, which is to be extended through an aesthetic education, and which demands an epistemic change.
María do Mar Castro Varela is a professor for Social Work and General Pedagogy at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin. As a guest professor she has taught at, amongst other places, the Zurich University of the Arts and at Innsbruck University. Her polemic Ist Integration nötig? (‘Is integration necessary?’) was published in 2013.
Nikita Dhawan is a Professor for Political Science at Innsbruck University and the Director of the Frankfurt Research Center for Postcolonial Studies at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. Her most recent publications are Global Justice and Desire: Queering Economy (2015) andDecolonizing Enlightenment: Transnational Justice, Human Rights and Democracy in a Postcolonial World (2014).
