- know how to use the anthropological method of immersion
- be able to analyse the field diary with the theoretical knowledge gained from the course/readings
- be able to propose a relevant research question
Two objectives are pursued :
1. To experience the encounter with the other (asylum seeker/migrant / with disabilities) through the process of immersion in a reception area;
2. Decolonising / renew our vision of the other and of cultures / disabilities
Natalie Rigaux teaches the Anthropology of Asylum Policies course, focusing on asylum seekers and migrants, to students with a bachelor's degree in political science.
Amélie Pierre teaches a course in the anthropology of communication and disability to students with a bachelor's degree in information and communication.
After a presentation of the issues surrounding asylum in Belgium / disability, two classes will be devoted to the immersion approach and its critique, two classes to the presentation of concepts proposing a decolonised/postcolonial vision of cultures/renewed vision of disability, two classes to the proposal of research questions concerning reception centres for migrants and asylum policies/care for people with disabilities and the anthropology of communication.
Based on extracts from the field diary, the course and readings of articles, a final paper will propose an analysis by the student of his/her self-positioning in the field, the conceptions of culture/disability that he/she observed there and a proposal for a relevant research question.
