Working on the (Un)just Curriculum. A Historical-Comparative Curriculum Analysis for the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) (1945–1990) [JuCu] (A01)

• Subject Area: General Education and History of Education
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 549839646

The project asks how actors embedded in the interdiscourse between curriculum work and the specialist and general public perceived, negotiated, further developed and eventually implemented demands for justice and participation in the school curricula. Two Western federal states are compared with the centrally organized GDR between 1945 and 1990. The project enables a better understanding of legitimacy crises and reconstructs curricular thematizations of participation.
