The virtual part will be running from 27 February to 5 May 2023 (2 hours per week). All virtual sessions will be held during the evenings. Types of activities: - During the introductory lectures, professors will present their analytical methods and case studies - The seminars include group work and plenary-discussions with students and other invited speakers - The workshops will be dedicated to developing co-created projects: organising students in teams, shaping research topics, developing the research projects. In this course students will work with interdisciplinary teams to examine methods of integrating historically marginalised or excluded entities (humans, non-humans, perspectives, experiences) through restorative cultural engagement; at the heart of the course is the development of co-created projects that tackle context-specific issues while addressing them in an international classroom environment.
