Course Content
Everyday life in higher education is experienced very differently by employees and students. Many can realize their potential, feel supported and appropriately challenged. Some feel that their needs are not taken seriously or even overburdened. This has to do with disadvantages and privileges, with advantages and prejudices that are as much a part of everyday higher education life as diversity.
This MOOC makes visible the diversity of experiences in everyday (higher education) life and the diversity of people in higher education. It offers suggestions for more sensitive perception and reflection on one's own position within social power relations. In the nine lessons of the MOOC, possible challenges that have to do with gender, race, class, disability, religion, etc. are highlighted. Explanations about all that happens in higher education interactions are given as well as suggestions for an inclusive, bias- and discrimination-free interaction.
Course Goals
The aim of the course is to address power relations and discrimination (sexism, racism, ageism, rejectionism, classism ...) encountered in everyday study and work and to explain them using examples. The content encourages observation and reflection, supports the development of knowledge and contains suggestions for acting more inclusive in everyday higher education.
After completing this course
- you will have expanded your understanding of common terms and contexts,
- you will be able to recognize power relations and discrimination by means of examples and perceive them better in everyday life,
- you will have sharpened your awareness of prejudice and discrimination,
- you will be able to act in a more diversity-sensitive manner and with greater solidarity in everyday university life.
