International Conference, June 29-30, 2017 at the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz
"International Degree Programmes in Humanities and Cultural Studies: Chances, Perspectives, Challenges"
Table of contents
The conference deals with prominent aspects of internationalisation of teaching in humanities and cultural studies and focuses on the following key aspects:
- Language Diversity – most international degree programmes use English as the language of instruction. But is this the only way or are there other concepts to support language diversity, which is considered to be one central aspect of humanities and cultural studies?
- International Classroom – students of international degree programmes form a highly inhomogeneous group. How can we build bridges between the different academic, cultural and social backgrounds of students and create links to the contents of the curriculum?
- Employability – the transition from university to working life is a challenge, especially for students of humanities and cultural studies. Can we find suitable approaches and activities to support workplace competences and employability, which can be integrated into national and international study programmes?
The conference is planned as a workshop with a focus on networking and exchanging ideas between colleagues and institutions. Introductory keynotes will be complemented by presentations of best practice examples and roundtable discussions, in which all participants are invited to contribute to forward-looking ideas and solutions
