Keynote Speaker 2 May Jehle: What is to be done? –Strategies and Considerations at Various Levels

Keynote Speaker May Jehle talks about the theme: The Historical Development of “PolitischeBildung“

Keynote Speaker May Jehle talks about the theme:
Times of Crises and Polarization –and a Call for “Politische Bildung”

Civic education is always linked to imaginations and concepts of our current and future society and political system. That’s why we also need historical reflections in order to understand core concepts of civic education which has evolved over time. With regard to the German tradition of „Politische Bildung“ we can retrace the historical development of core concepts and basic ideas in the light of societal developments and the needs of the political systems. This historical reconstruction of core concepts and discourses on their implementation sheds light on specific tensions between affirmation and emancipation in the field of civic education. Proceeding from this reconstruction the talk will draw some lines to current the current discourse on “Politische Bildung” in Germany which focuses especially challenges for democracy by populism, extremism and societal polarizations. Following these lines the talk will lead to a discussion, how we can think “Politische Bildung” considering this polarization.

May Jehle did her doctorate on comparative case studies based on classroom videos from East and West Berlin between 1978 and 1993 at the University of Vienna. She worked in several projects in the field of video-based, subject-specific and subject-integrative teacher education at the universities in Frankfurt/Main and Mainz. Since October 2023 she holds a visiting professorship for the Didactic of Civic Education at the University Dresden. Her research interests are history of civic education, video-based classroom research, civic education and societal transformations, reflexive teacher education, subject-oriented, emancipative and solidary civic education.

In this keynote, Associate Professor and Head of the Hans Christian Andersen Center at the University of Southern Denmark, Torsten Bøgh Thomsen, will introduce 19th century deliberations on art and nature as expressed in Hans Christian Andersen’s writings. The views on the human, nature and materiality that arise in Andersen’s texts are interesting in relation to current philosophical and aesthetic discussions about climate and the environment. Not only because Danish romanticism in many ways produced views on nature and humanity that are still in effect, but also because romanticism unfolded alongside the industrialization that set global warming in motion. Andersen wrote with a skepticism in relation to human self-aggrandizement, an ambivalence towards romantic glorification of nature and a sensibility towards the material world that seems strikingly relevant in our time.
