Racism seems to be a persistent phenomenon in 21st century societies and their (educational) institutions. First, we will determine central basic concepts and their definitions needed when studying racism. Then the course will introduce classical approaches to international studies of racism by exemplary and influential scholars of racism from the United States and the United Kingdom who laid the groundwork for this field of research at the beginning (W.E.B. du Bois) and the middle (Frantz Fanon) of the twentieth century. More recent but still classical contributions from postcolonial (Edward Said, Stuart Hall) and black feminist (Patricia Hill Collins, Philomena Essed, Kim Crenshaw, ) research complete the first ‘review’ part of the course. In the second part we turn to the ‘state of the art’ by the approach of investigating recent versions of racism, or racisms in plural: Antiziganizm (also: Anti-Romanyism), Antisemitism and Anti-Muslim Racism, or Islamophobia.
