This year’s ‘Divided Societies’ course will concentrate on the causes and consequences of the rise of autocracies in different parts of the world, particularly (former) democratic countries as well as totalitarian tendencies in existing autocracies, and ideological movements fighting to take control of political and other institutions. Participants in the course will also explore the outcomes of the current autocratic and totalitarian trends and try to envisage facilitating and impeding factors associated with these trends.
We encourage the participation of students and scholars in the social sciences, law and humanities and other fields and disciplines studying social phenomena such as divisions, cleavages, conflicts, borders, migration, ethnicity and diversity. This post/graduate course will be organised as a rigorous academic interdisciplinary programme structured around lectures, workshops and conference-oriented presentations of scholarly research. Course participants will engage in active discussions on the theoretical, methodological and practical issues of research in divided societies. PhD and MA students’ presentations are also welcome. In addition, the course offers personal inter-cultural experiences of students and faculty from other contexts in an unforgettable setting of a city that was itself the target of a destructive conflict. The course ‘Divided Societies XXVI: Autocracy and Totalitarianism’ offers ECTS credits for PhD and MA students (3-5 ECTS; 3 ECTS for participation, 5 ECTS for participation with presentation).
