Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
My master's class this year, on the theme of "Refugee Encounter Narratives", will take the form of a creative writing exercise based on the students' encounter with an actual refugee living in Liège. This is a repeat experience of an experiment organized in 2018-19, which had proved immensely successful with the students who had agreed to participate, as well as with the refugees, too. Also, the initiative forms part of an international programme involving several European universities (in Germany, Austria, Britain, ...) and we shall mobilize the potentialities of online teaching to organize joint seminars so that you can compare notes with these international students.
Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
It is hoped that the experience will induce a mutation of preconceptions about refugees possibly entertained by the students prior to the meetings.
Savoirs et compétences prérequis
Nothing of the sort, but it will of course help to have, or wish to develop, an open mind about the so-called refugee "crisis".
Activités d'apprentissage prévues et méthodes d'enseignement
A few heuristic seminars; above all, an exposure to unimagined experience bound to be most formative.
Mode d'enseignement (présentiel, à distance, hybride)
Combinaison d'activités d'apprentissage en présentiel et en distanciel
Explications complémentaires:
A few face-to-face seminars; lots of independence granted to one's personal research in the big wide world; lots of freedom concerning the mode of writing chosen to report on one's experience.
Lectures recommandées ou obligatoires et notes de cours
Some theoretical literature, as well as a few short stories dealing with the refugee question, will be discussed in class.
Modalités d'évaluation et critères
Travail à rendre - rapport
Evaluation continue
Explications complémentaires:
Assessment will be based upon the quality of the writing produced across the course. Special attention will be paid to the felt sincerity of the sentiments expressed, including the way in which the latter may evolve in consequence of whatever is discovered in the context of the meetings.
Stage(s)
I shall of course help in the process of locating and selecting "partners" (refugees) willing to take part in the project.
Remarques organisationnelles
The course will be organized in the first term. The seminars will be held on Mondays (9-11am) in room "Philo 2" (building A1). The meetings can take place at any time that will prove convenient to all parties concerned.
