Beschreibung:Politically sensitive language is a hot topic of debate, which often produces polarizing either/or positions. But what does it mean to consider the way discrimination works in and through language in depth and nuance? How can interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches allow us to understand these problems better, and work towards practicable solutions? In this transdisciplinary seminar, a collaboration between the Institutes of Cognitive Science, and English and American Studies, students will be introduced to the platform and digital tool machtsprache.de, and work in interdisciplinary teams to develop their own projects that engage with these questions.
Important: max. 16 students of Cognitive Science - sign-in here - and 16 students of Cultural Studies - sign-in via https://s.gwdg.de/QQCuAh
