Course’ s Title: PPK IPPI:20
«STROLL: European virtual mobility through researching cities: understanding and learning the European cities online»
Context:
Based on a partnership between Artemisszio Alapitvany (Hungary), Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyerngyetem University (ELTE-Hungary), the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM-Spain) and the University of Thessaly (UTH-Greece), this online course allows students to have a meaningful intercultural learning experience on Urban Studies. This course benefits from the diversity in the background and nationality of the teaching team and aims to create for the students from different countries and cultures a dynamic and interactive educational experience.
Course description:
The course introduces students into some epistemological traditions and methodological techniques and tools with urban studies. The city is approached both as a research topic and as a field. This exploration teaches us not only about urbanity but also about broader structural and cultural forces influencing our collective life. Given the very wide field of investigation, four thematic topics are privileged: urban space, the role and place of women in cities, art in the city, and living in the city. The common thread connecting these seemingly disperse elements will be the engagement to question everywhere the possibility of social justice, inclusion, and equality.
Aims
As Students will virtually visit successively three European cities: Budapest, Larisa and Madrid, they will both learn theoretically about the four selected topics and conduct further fieldwork in order to discover what looking at the city through these prisms may teach them about European society. Accordingly, students will receive a basic introduction to these 4 specific topics within urban studies, while they will be methodologically prepared to conduct independent, collective, fieldwork-based, ethnographically informed mini research projects.
Due to the fact that this course concerns students registered in universities of three different countries, they will also learn to participate and collaborate in international groups as well as integrate the cultural diversity in their approach on Urban Studies.
Structure of the course:
Online lectures (Monday, 15h to 16h30) for the whole class, presenting theories and methods focused on the four topics: urban space, the role and place of women in cities, art in the city, living in the city (20h)
Research Seminars (Wednesday, 15h to 16h30) (20h), offline during the three first weeks and online during the rest of the semester (weeks 4 to 12). Research seminars will be organized for research groups.
Course’s Accreditation: 6 ECTs
Certificate of successful attendance: Finalizing and handing in assignments duly and according to schedule is a condition for the validation of the course. At the end of the semester and after the successful attendance of the course, each student will be awarded a Certificate of successful attendance (Erasmus + certificate).
