History and Theory <strong>of</strong> E<strong>du</strong>cation and CurriculumSIHICS - Schooling as institutional heritage in cultural settings: <strong>Luxembourg</strong>’s school history (2010-2013)The general research task <strong>of</strong> this project is to reconstruct the cultural idiosyncrasy <strong>of</strong> one particular school system – here the<strong>Luxembourg</strong>ish – based on its own historical institutionalization. To achieve this reconstruction three aims have to be met: First <strong>of</strong> all, theinstitutional heritage <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Luxembourg</strong>ish school system has to be detected. We will achieve this using a combination <strong>of</strong> historical andsociological approaches to e<strong>du</strong>cation. The second aim is the identification <strong>of</strong> the cultural idiosyncrasy <strong>of</strong> this heritage, which can be done byinternational comparison with neighbouring countries. The third aim is to critically discuss the validity <strong>of</strong> the theoretical discussion on globaldevelopments in e<strong>du</strong>cation on the basis <strong>of</strong> the concrete example <strong>of</strong> <strong>Luxembourg</strong>. The results will show how the aspirations <strong>of</strong> a globalizedculture transported via international organizations and their tools (PISA, for instance) affect the local culture in terms <strong>of</strong> structuring theschool system, and how these cultural adaptations, negotiations and transformations affect the inner activities <strong>of</strong> schooling.Outcomes: 1 workshop, several publications (3 book chapters, 1 journal article, 1 public outreach)Accepted research projects to start in 2013:FAMOSO - Fabricating Modern Societies: In<strong>du</strong>stries <strong>of</strong> Reform as E<strong>du</strong>cational Responses to Societal Challenges (ca. 1880-1930) -Principal Investigator: Assoc.- Pr<strong>of</strong>.
