STUDYING THE CITY

FOUR THEMATIC WORKSHOPS

URBAN TRANSFORMATION AND PLACEMAKING: FOSTERING LEARNING FROM SOUTH ASIA AND GERMANY (2020-2023)

Cities reflect and stimulate cultural, social, economic and political lifeworlds across time and space. Paying attention to this demographic condition, but going deeper and beyond quantitative dimensions, this subject-related partnership will jointly explore how institutions of Higher Education can respond to the ways in which cities in South Asia and Germany transform and what can be learnt from their often substantial changes. The aim is to train young generations of students in the Humanities and Social Sciences as well as Art and Design, to shape socially responsible and sustainable career paths by means of handling future-oriented questions and methodological challenges related to the ‘Urban Age’.

Institutions

The three partners institutions have been carefully selected not only to strengthen each other's position in their national context but also to sharpen their educational profile and cooperation internationally.

Our Team

All team leaders, along with other team members, have been in regular exchange about this proposal since 2017, online and at the three partner sites in tandem and together.

Courses

The joint courses and curriculum developed at each partner institution through co-teaching modules and joint fieldwork; including faculty training for interdisciplinary skills/methods and research-based learning.
