Students are able to work scientifically on an issue selected from an appropriate area.

 

The age of enlightenment is tied to the beginning of scientific justification of new race theories that were refined in the 19^th century to also include social standardisation of disabilities. The resulting social pattern of how disabilities were perceived was part of a medical discourse on the abnormal, a discourse that was exposed to radical psychiatrisation. The seminar will introduce the students to the medicalisation of the abnormal, its beginning, its continuity, and its transformations as well as the political consequences connected to it.

Students present their papers, lectures given by the teacher, discussions.

Oral examination or presentation of theses papers.

Course with formative assessment, i.e., students are graded on the basis of written and/or oral tasks assigned regularly over the term.
