Digital Learning Materials | The History of Labour in 20th Century Europe through the lens of the International Labour Organization (ILO)
Natali Stegmann and the team of students comprising Sven Ehlers, Christine Maschke, Felix Ostermaier, Yannis Rubi, Katharina Schmitt and Tim Treu have produced digital teaching materials about the International Labour Organization. Thematically, these materials contribute directly to the ScienceCampus' focus on globality, transnational connections and international relations, and the role of international institutions.
As part of developing digital teaching materials, we are delighted to present three units plus an introduction on the history of the International Labour Organization in the first half of the 20th century. Natali Stegmann and the team of students comprising Sven Ehlers, Christine Maschke, Felix Ostermaier, Yannis Rubi, Katharina Schmitt and Tim Treu approach this International Organization as a stage for international social policy making. We have chosen to organize the units according to policy-changing historical events that were important both internationally and for social policy making. The first unit deals with the establishment of the liberal Versailles order with the League of Nations and the ILO. The second unit focuses on the Great Depression since 1929, Keynesianism and the accession of the USA to the ILO. The third unit is dedicated to the realignment of the ILO during and after the Second World War. Thematically, these materials contribute directly to the ScienceCampus' focus on globality, transnational connections and international relations, and the role of international institutions.
The introduction is embedded on this page, while all the materials, including the three main units, can be accessed via the UR Mediathek. The materials are presented as an open educational resource, thus they should be accessible to colleagues from outside the University. Colleagues within the university are welcome to include the materials in their teaching, including by importing them through the GRIPS moodle system.
The units were produced by the participants of a seminar at the University of Regensburg in the Winter Term 2023/24 under the supervision of Natali Stegmann. We are grateful for the support of Paul Vickers and Gresa Morina from the Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America in the Modern Word and from Regine Bachmaier from the ZHW (the Centre for University and Academic Teaching).
