Interview with Sunaina Maira on teaching 9/11
Sunaina Maira is a professor at the University of California in Davis for Asian American studies.
She gave a lecture at this years NYRIS 11 Conference in Turku, which I attended. After the lecture I had the opportunity to ask her about teaching 9/11. Since she is one of the foremost critical thinkers on that aera and her work deals a lot with the impact of 9/11 on American minority youth it was very interesting to listen to her views.
For Fakultätsrat 3
Nun an der PH sind bald Wahlen für die Gremien und wir Studierende sollten uns da auch einbringen. In der PH sollte es ja Auswahl geben und auch unterschiedliche Kandidaten.
Mehr zu meinen Positionen werde ich auch noch schreiben, bei Gelegenheit. Vielleicht ist so ein kleiner Wahlkampf ja eine gute Sache um die Wahl ein wenig zu politisieren.
Das Plakat ist übrigens von diesem von Kennedy inspiriert.
Und mehr infos zur Wahl gibt es hier
Die Grünen: Eine Erfolgsgeschichte im Stadttheater
Inzwischen ist das Stadttheater Freiburg ja auch so modern, das es Trailer auf Youtube stellt:
Ich war kürzlich in einem Stück des Stadttheaters über die Grünen. Sozusagen die dramtatisierte Umsetzung des Wikipedia Artikels über die Grünen. Der Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Es war eine herausragende ästhetische Erfahrung und bevor man kritisiert sollte man halt auch mal hineingehen. Keineswegs wird die Geschichte der Grünen von ihrer Gründung bis zum Freiburger Parteitag im letzen Jahr unkritisch oder unreflektiert dargestellt.
Besonders gefällt die Umsetzung von Boris Palmer als Provinz-Louis-XVI der sich vom Hofstaat umgarnen lässt. Sicher das politischte Stück, das diese Saison gegeben wird und ein guter Grund ins Theater zu gehen. Wer will muß sich aber Sputen, denn es gibt nur noch heute Abend und im Juli eine Aufführung.

NYRIS 11 Presentation
And here is the abstract and the slides to my presentation. I gave it at Mon 13 of June at NYRIS 11 in Turku in the stream 1 „active youth participation“
Youth councils in the German State of Baden-Württemberg (BW) and Finland
By: Sebastian Müller (University of Education Freiburg) June 14, 2011
Keywords: youth political attitudes, political participation, political behavior, democracy
What was the study about?
In both Finland and the German state of Baden-Württemberg, there are youth councils. Youth council was defined for the study as: “Elected bodies composed of people between the ages of 12 and 22, that are instituted by the local authority and deal with public policy.”
In recent years, the amount of youth councils has increased in both areas to more than 80 in BW and more than 90 in Finland. In BW, the spread of youth councils began around the mid 1990s, in Finland it began around the turn of the century. Both umbrella organizations have a working relationship since 2006, delegations visit each other annually and they participate in joint action.
There are very few scientific enquiries dealing specifically with youth councils, and up to now there was none dealing with them in both areas.
In both regions I sent out two kinds of questionnaires: one dealing with the structures and the other with attitudes of youth councilors. This questionnaire was based on the work done by Michael C. Hermann, who investigated youth councils in BW in 1995.
NYRIS Turku: Youth Councils in Germany and Finnland
Unfortunatley he will not sing for us, but this Finnland trip will be good, too.
Today I’m off for Finland again to present my thesis about youth councils in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and Finland. I will present this at NYRIS 11 and be in the Comparative Youth Participation Session. I feel very honoured to be in a session with such important researchers and hope to have inspiring meetings there.
You will find me at Sessions 1 next Monday 13th of June at 15.30-17.00 in the EDU 244 Educarium, Assistentinkatu 5 Turku. And This is the abstract: Youth councils in BW and Fi Abstract Sebastian Müller

YOUTH COUNCILS AND COUNCILORS IN THE GERMAN STATE OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG AND FINNLAND: A SURVEY ABOUT STRUCTURE, ATTITUDES AND CONDITIONS OF THEIR WORK
Presenter: Sebastian Müller
Keywords: Youth participation, youth councils, youth parliaments, Finland, Baden-Württemberg, comparative research,
Since 1996 there have been major developments in the field of youth councils in the State of Baden-Württemberg, the number rose from 16 to over 89 today. This study is the first survey of the attitudes of youth councilors in the German state of Baden-Württemberg since 1996 and the first comparative research of the conditions, attitudes and structure of youth councils and their members in Germany and Finland. It builds on previous research by Michael C. Hermann, “Jugendgemeinderäte in Baden-Wprttemberg, eine interdisziplinäre Evaluation” and the joint publication „Youth participation in Finland and in Germany – Status analysis and data based recommendations“ by Eva Feldmann-Wojtachnia, Anu Gretschel, Vappu Helmisaari et al. „NYRIS Turku: Youth Councils in Germany and Finnland“ weiterlesen

Classroom Research Class at the PH with Dr. Heather Lotherington
In the last couple of weeks I attend a very intensive class at the PH. Usually our classes are via one term and only two hours per week. This class is only four weeks but 8 hours each week, so we are together a lot. Its only my second class in which we are on first name base with the lecturer, the other one was with Tonio Oeftering when he had just started his PhD Program and we intensivly read texts about Hannah Arendt, one of the most intresting polictics Seminars I did ever.
But back to our Class about Classroom Research. I had a seminar in English about it once with another lecturer but it wasn’t that interesting and I don’t remember so much. Heather is really full of power („Energiebündel“) and seems to be very enthusiastic about what she does. I wish we had more lectures like this. Though I wonder if she is very leftist? At least she seems to have a high rateing on the scales for political zynisism.
I wish we had more exchange lectureres it makes studying so much more intresting.
A friend of mine in Bengkulu (Sumatra) is writing his Bsc Thesis on this as well so I hope I might help him a little with this, too. „Classroom Research Class at the PH with Dr. Heather Lotherington“ weiterlesen
