Realization

Academics and scientists from various disciplines (film studies, philosophy, neurosciences, etc.) presented in their lectures various dimensions of emotions and their effect on society. The lecture series was recorded by the CeDiS AV team. As the lecture series is public, the videos were published on the websites of the university.

Recordings of lecture series can also be used in university courses, for example as a starting point for discussions taking place face-to-face or within an online forum. Helpful here is to supply guidelines or questions that the students can work on and debate when discussing. The students can, for example, independently create and work on a wiki focusing on a select topic of the lecture series.
