Description
The aim of this module is to give students insight in how countries use their education systems to promote distinct values and identities and in the effectiveness of these efforts. Comparisons across time and space will inform students of the different objectives that states pursue regarding these values and identities. Students will also acquire knowledge about the effects of education on values and identities and will become aware of the problems involved in trying to measure these effects. The module will be theory- and research-informed. It will draw on topical themes such as radicalisation, anti-immigrant populism and rise of the social media in its discussion of the effect of education on values and identities. The module will be assessed with a written assignment of 5000 words. The module is an optional MA module affiliated to the MA in Comparative Education. It does not include specific entry requirements or requirements related to the written assignment.
