In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.
Counting on Computers: New Information Technologies and Curricular Change in East Germany, 1960s to 1990 is a compelling exploration of socialist ambitions for a computerised future and how computer technology was imagined to reshape education and socialist society in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It delves into the positive visions of a computerised future embraced by the country's one-party leadership, and examines how these visions influenced educational policy and curricula as computers were introduced into workplaces and schools. The book provides readers with a comprehensive perspective on the historical development of computer education in the GDR, highlighting the crucial links between the integration of computers in different sectors of the educational system, as well as in society and the socialist economy at large. By uncovering this lesser-known aspect of East German history, the book sheds light on the intricate and multifaceted relationship between technology, ideology, and education.

Studieren im Ausland: humanitäre Krisen, Solidarität und die Formierung eines globalen Handlungsfelds. Studieren im Ausland ist heute scheinbar normal. Die meisten Programme versehen dies dabei mit dem Auftrag, internationale Verständigung zu fördern. Isabella Löhr analysiert, wie diese Verbindung von Bildungsmobilität und Verständigung im Verlauf des Ersten Weltkriegs entstand. Die Europäische Studentenhilfe war eine aus der studentischen Missionsbewegung des 19. Jahrhunderts kommende humanitäre Organisation, die ab 1920 in den Universitätsstädten im östlichen Europa tätig wurde. Sie verband Bildungsmobilität mit humanitärer Hilfe und transformierte studentische Mobilität in...
