Inhalt: Social Justice, both as a conceptual term and (im)material demand, has been critically affected by the turbulent changes and sociopolitical ruptures in late neo-liberal capitalist societies. Currently, it has gained momentum and stands as a buzzword to a whole range of disciplines: from educational and civic policy, to critical education, memory/history studies, up to a constant demand of new social movements. In this Seminar, apart from fundamental conceptualizations of the term, we will discuss and reflect on various angles of social justice through selected case studies: from museum exhibitions/artefacts, public history sites/memorials opting for social justice, anti-racism and anti-discrimination struggles to claims for reconciliation and decolonization towards societal transformation, inclusion, multi-vocality in museum work and artistic research. Moreover, we will focus on questions such as : Is there a room for intervention and work towards social justice within a museum educational context? How do historical/memory sites produce and present alternative 'readings' or aspects of so called 'bottom-up' history, striving for social justice and transformation? Which are the involved official and unofficial actors in this knowledge production and memory 'Topoi'/Archives? How do grassroots initiatives and social movements produce, safeguard and disseminate such knowledge, memory and archival work?
