Monuments, Memory, and Democratic Dialogue. A Transnational Project Seminar as Case Study
Abstract
The contribution outlines the building blocks of the ongoing transnational cooperation format Monuments & Memory Transatlantic Seminar (MMTS) through a two-part perspective: first, the original didactic planning with a focus on writing-to-learn pedagogies, embodied and asset-based learning, small teaching, and project work combined with, second, a newly heightened awareness of democratic education principles in the context of recent US government targeting of education. The format sketch concludes with thoughts on transfer potential, particularly for engaging with potentially contentious topics in the higher education classroom. The collaboration between Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, and humanities disciplines at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg is structurally supported by the Schreibzentrum|Writing Center at the JMU Centre for Academic Education and Teaching (ZBL).
