We concluded the semester with an exhibition in my Care seminar. In small groups, students developed their own approaches, from interview-based projects to questions of local and public responsibility.

One project stayed with me in particular. Students worked with neglected Stolpersteine — small memorial stones for victims of Nazi persecution. What began as an attempt to clean the stones unfolded into an exploration of the care network required for these memorials to continue their work of remembrance.

The installation makes this visible: email correspondence with the city and the Stolpersteine initiative, photographs before and after cleaning, tools, biographical material, and theoretical references are connected by red threads. It becomes clear that if one thread were cut, the whole constellation would be strained — until, eventually, it would collapse.

Care appears not as an isolated act, but a vulnerable practice that must be continuously sustained.

Drawing on Joan Tronto’s understanding of care as a practice oriented toward the maintenance, continuity, and repair of the world and our entangled ways of living in it, my seminar focused on repair — and hosted a Repair Café.

Intimate and limited to the seminar itself, because repairing something for someone, and recognizing something as in need of repair, opens up an entire network of relations, ontologies, and epistemic practices. Over coffee and homemade food, students helped one another, exchanged experiences, and learned about the things at hand and about the people connected to them. In the process, other people became inscribed into the stories that now hold together a broken porcelain deer, a favourite winter jacket, and a blunt shared kitchen knife.

Rarely have I experienced such an atmosphere in a seminar: attentive, caring, and appreciative, while at the same time deeply reflexive and analytically sharp.

It's important to note that scaffolding is not simply dispensing correct answers or using behaviorist reward/punishment systems. Instead, it's about interactive dialogue and support that truly guides the learning process. #TeachingPhilosophy #Scaffolding

As a history teacher in international schools, I’ve taught students from many countries. What unites them? Curiosity, courage, and the need to feel seen.

Whether I’m teaching revolutions or recording Mr. Hutchings History, my goal is the same:
🧠 Teach with clarity
🌍 Connect across cultures
📚 Show that the past still speaks
