Monday, 7 July 2025: 15:00-16:45
Location: FSE034 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
TG09 Sociological Teaching (host committee)

Language: English

Historically, sociology as a science and academic discipline has privileged Western ways of knowing, doing, and learning. This panel brings together international sociologists and teaching experts who will critically discuss whose knowledges count and whose knowledges are ignored, discounted or silenced in their specific regional context. Panelists will further discuss how they seek to promote various ways of knowing, doing, and learning through practices when teaching sociology.
