The course will show how it is possible to conduct important and productive research in this area, and then how to integrate Roma issues into teaching programs, and how a richer and deeper understanding of Roma changes ones perception not just of ‘Gypsies’ but of non-Roma and the societies we all live in. It will in particular examine the current teaching of Romany Studies (Romologia) in the region from primary school through to Social Worker and Police Academies and try and devise proposals for improvements of this provision.
The summer school will contain elements of learning common to all participants and modular elements as described in the detailed course description. There will be an opportunity for all to approach basic understandings from Linguistics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Sociology. Then there will be the chance to specialize in parallel sessions. All students will participate together in sessions examining international Romology materials (brought by students from abroad); in fieldwork and in course preparation work.
Course-specific application requirement
Applicants should send a brief statement about the teaching of Romany issues in their country and a statement of willingness to investigate these before attending the summer school to be able to produce a 10-15 page text on the teaching of Romany issues in their country.
