a challenge in an international environment. Without knowing the national composition of the group,\u00a0one can easily fall into a trap of different narratives related to the same\u00a0historical\u00a0event, or lack of knowledge about someone else\u2019s history.\u00a0One class is too short to discuss the complicated relations between different countries and peoples. What can be offered to students is an insight into how history is produced narrated in different school settings internationally. This is a way to\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t1) promote intercultural awareness in class;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t2) endorse critical thinking;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t3) minimize controversies\u00a0in an international setting.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe class\u00a0described below\u00a0is part of a course in\u00a0Sociology, and\u00a0is usually conducted in the second part of the semester within the topic \u201cNation and Ethnicity\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDiscussing historical narratives and how they are taught at schools in different country settings has two different dimensions. The first dimension is that students can learn how other students learn about their nations \u2013 are they presented as heroes or victims, winners or losers, occupiers or liberators? Students are then encouraged to\u00a0compare\u00a0different stories\u00a0with how their own history has been presented to them\u00a0in\u00a0school,\u00a0as well as\u00a0look for similar or distinctive patterns\u00a0of historical narration. The second dimension is about lessons learnt, or, in other words, students\u2019 critical evaluation of the\u00a0way they were taught history.\u00a0By being exposed to\u00a0other perspectives on\u00a0historical narrative, students are better able to\u00a0reflect on their own.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Different historical interpretations<\/strong> as well as politicization of some events <strong>can easily lead to controversies in the classroom<\/strong>. For example, the importance of World War II (WWII) for European national histories and national identities has recently become prominent.\u00a0In my sociology course, a student attended both, a Russian and\u00a0an\u00a0international school, where he learnt contradicting narratives about the history of WWII. In the former\u00a0he had learnt that\u00a0the Soviets\u00a0had saved Europe from the woes of Nazism,\u00a0whereas in the latter\u00a0he\u00a0heard a different\u00a0narrative, which positioned the Soviet Union as an oppressor, a superpower that occupied Eastern Europe after WWII.\u00a0\u00a0The student shared\u00a0that he\u00a0became\u00a0frustrated and upset with the second narrative, but it also made him realize that\u00a0the same historical event can be narrated differently,\u00a0depending on who is narrating.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>\n\tHow to address this situation?<br>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/h5p\/quiz\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><div class=\"video-placeholder-wrapper video-placeholder-wrapper--fixed\" style=\"height: 366px;\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"video-placeholder d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t        <div class=\"overlay text-white p-2 w-100 text-center d-block justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t            <div>To view third-party content, please accept cookies.<\/div>\n\t\t\t            <button class=\"btn btn-secondary btn-sm mt-1 consent-change\">Change consent<\/button>\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Class description Course Topic:\u00a0Sociology\u00a0 Student composition:\u00a0BA level,\u00a0domestic\u00a0and international students\u00a0 The situation in which the controversy occurred: Discussing nation and the concept of nation-state can be a challenge in an international environment.
