This online lecture series serves as the introduction to the Aurora Microcredential “Identities and Diversities” and introduces students to key debates, concepts, and practices in the study of identities and diversities in both contemporary and past societies. Students will explore how categories such as race, diversity, and ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexuality are socially constructed, historically situated, and institutionally embedded, as well as how these categories interact. The lecture series combines theoretical input from UDE scholars with practice-oriented insights from researchers and community stakeholders. Graduates of the microcredential „Identities and Diversities” can
  • explain and critically various conceptualizations of “Diversity” in a global context (Global Learning)
  • explain the targets and indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 10: “Reduce Inequality within and among Countries” (Ethical Reasoning)
  • explain and critically discuss selected interdisciplinary theoretical concepts (Reading)
  • interpret intersectional, including intercultural, experience from both one’s own perspective and those of others, in a supportive manner that recognizes the feelings of other groups
