Anotace

Course dedicated to develop the understanding of anti-Romani racism as a phenomenon of originally European societies that does not cease to dominate the relationship of diverse non-Romani societies towards the Roma across the globe. The course will open the insight into the diverse facets of this form of racism and lead to the discussion of structures, power hierarchies and mental framing that enable its perpetuation and re-establishment. The course is a joint teaching endeavour by a group of researchers primarily at Charles University, University of St. Andrews and Leiden University. It is taught as a joint course of the Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Humanities of the Charles University and researchers and lectures from Czech Republic (on-site), Great Britain (on-line) and Netherlands (on-line) will take turn in guiding the students through the course. Together with required reading for each session the syllabus will offer a list of additional readings for each topic in order to support and help to navigate individual students in their exploration of the sources, effects and legacies of anti-Romani racism as well as the diverse reactions by individual Roma to the diverse forms of their oppression.<br>
