Transatlantic Histories of Schooling and Education

This conference is hosted by the Center for German-American Educational History, University of Münster (WWU) in cooperation with Humboldt University Berlin. It is funded by the History of Education Division of the German Educational Research Association (GERA), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Sparkasse Münsterland Ost, the International Office of the WWU and the AmerikaHaus NRW e.V. in Cologne.

About the Conference

The exploration of cross-border processes regarding the production, diffusion and reception of pedagogical knowledge, concepts, and materials related to schooling and education has emerged as an integral part of the History of Education. Here, different approaches and concepts are employed that stem from investigations of international and transnational developments and relations and are closely linked to the formation of nation states in the 19th century. Thus, the conference, which will be held from May 24-26, 2018 in Münster, Germany, focuses on two aspects: (1) the spaces of exchange between Germany and the USA, which will be explored by bringing together current research concepts, approaches, and results, (2) the materiality of transnational processes, which will be investigated by focusing on its influence on subjects, objects, and modes of transfer.
