This international conference explores the relationships between empathy, education and society in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe and its transnational connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establishing Empathy. Education, Emotions and Society in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Perceiving empathy as the capacity to put oneself in someone else\u2019s shoes and to share his or her feelings and experiences, the conference pursues two goals. First, it strives to examine the social and cultural institutions across Europe that functioned as \u201cschools of empathy\u201d and to question their effects on community building as well as on social mechanisms of inclusion or exclusion. Second, it aims to analyze the groups and individuals that served as \u201ceducators\u201d as well as the educational practices they developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Programm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursday, March 31<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14.00\u201314.30 WELCOME & INTRODUCTION 14.30\u201316.45 PANEL 1: SITES OF EMOTIONAL EDUCATION Presenters: 16.45\u201318.15 Coffee Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n 18.15\u201319.45 KEYNOTE: Ute Frevert (Berlin): Historicizing Empathy and Education Friday, April 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9.15\u201310.15 CURRENT PERSPECTIVES Presenters: 10.15\u201313.00 PANEL 2: EMPATHY IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND SOCIAL REFOM Presenters: 11.00\u201311.30 COFFEE BREAK<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Stella Maria Frei (Giessen): To \u201cHelp That Great Orphan \u2013 Humanity\u201d.
