Super interesting Project Tutorial "Sociospatial Belonging in Berlin"
Dear students,
Please see the attached poster for information about the project tutorial "Sociospatial Belonging in Berlin," the next session of which takes place on July 3rd. The project is a month-long block tutorial taking place on Fridays and Saturdays. Students are able to earn up to 4 ECTS for participation. While the first session took place on June 19th, additional participants are being sought, and there is still time to join the project.
Participants will choose a site, and will use auto-ethnographic and artistic research methods to explore how Berlin's urban landscape delineates who belongs in the city. Together, students will critically examine particular aspects of their environment, from place names to statues, as well as broader trends, such as affordability, surveillance, and demolition. The group will explore how race, class, gender, national identity, and memory culture inform public policy and social behaviour, and will conclude by making their own creative intervention in the urban landscape.

Please note that the course dates will likely be extended by one week.
