250372 Folk media: Popular and public pedagogies as educational inclusion (S) (WiSe 2022/2023)

This course is taught by the Australian guest lecturer Prof. Anna Hickey-Moody (RMIT University Melbourne). The seminar language is English. The lecturer's aim is that students also see the course as an opportunity to practice their English in a relaxed atmosphere and to engage in conversations about the seminar topics as well as the related issues that interest them.

In this course, you will develop a robust framework for reading popular and public pedagogies as a form of widening participation and develop your sensibility for appreciating vernacular civic participation and youth voice in digital content production. This includes digital practices on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and other digital and social media.

Scholarship in the field of inclusive education has grown out of research on disability (Slee et al. 2019), language (Taylor & Sidhu 2012), cultural difference, and class (Kenway & Lararuz 2017). This course offers a different approach informed by cultural studies (Willis 1977, Mc Robbie 2013) and decolonial theory (Vergés 2001), presenting popular cultural modes of engagement and sites of learning as forms of inclusive education.

In this course, we will work with a retrospective account of non-digital folk practices as a history of popular education based on Henry Jenkin's work (2012). And soon after, we will situate contemporary digital folk media practices as inclusive education.

Expanding on Vergés's (2001) critique of colonial knowledge systems, we will examine globalized and globalizing forms of digital production as, what I call, folk media. We will consider the limits to digital inclusion in economic class, labor, disability, and the expanding issues of digital waste.
