International activities at the IFS

The connection to the international scientific community is of great strategic importance for the IFS.  Thus, the IFS is anchored in top national and international research. Furthermore, scientists regularly publish their research results in English-language journals or present them at international conferences. In addition, the institute regularly hosts visiting scholars; on the one hand, staff members spend research stays abroad, and on the other hand, guest lecturers from abroad come to the institute for research stays, project exchanges or guest lectures. Finally, the area of teaching at the institute is also characterized by its international orientation, as there are, for example, teaching concepts for the implementation of intercultural education in teacher training.

Dr. Corey Savage from the University of Glasgow visits IFS for an exchange on civic literacy and civic education.

Dr. Corey Savage from the University of Glasgow is a renowned expert on political socialization in the school context and will be a guest at the IFS. Dr. Savage's research includes the effects of educational reforms, programs and practices on the outcomes of civic education. For example, he analyses the extent to which students have access to civic learning opportunities and which factors play a role in this. His particular focus is on education systems in the USA and Germany.

During his two-week guest stay at TU Dortmund University, Dr. Savage will discuss current research projects and opportunities for cooperation with IFS staff. In addition, he will provide insights into his work as a member of the Advisory Committee of the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2027) and as a member of the Academic Advisory Group of the U.K. All-Party Parliamentary Group on Political Literacy.

We thank Dr. Savage for the enriching exchange and look forward to staying in touch!
