Seminar
WiSe 22/23: Integration in Germany
Daniel Louis Nethery
Comments
Subject: In January 2021 a commission appointed by the federal government released an extensive report on the integration of people with a Migrationshintergrund or migration background in Germany. The report set out a concept of integration, discussed integration with regard to a wide range of policy areas, including health and housing, education and employment, and raised issues like religion and language. Also included in the report were the dissenting positions of several commission members, which underline the extent to which integration remains a contested and controversial idea.
Program: We will use the report as the starting point for an analysis of integration. We will consider the economic, social, political and cultural aspects of the concept developed in the report, and compare it with terms like multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. We will also discuss the implications of integration for employment and education policy. By the end of the semester you will understand some of the policy implications of integration, and be in a position to engage in debates over integration in Germany today.
Is this course for me? This course is open to all students. There are no prerequisites.
Workload and assessment: You will qualify for 5 ECTS points if you engage with the course materials, your attendance is satisfactory, and you pass the written examination at the end of the semester.
