Weiterbildung: Institutionelle Grundlagen und Handlungsfelder
(2022-03)
Aus zwei Gründen gewinnt die Weiterbildung an Bedeutung: Einerseits entsteht im Zuge der digitalen und ökologischen Transformation der Arbeitswelt ein großer Qualifizierungsbedarf, weil sie zu einem Wandel von Berufsfeldern und -tätigkeiten führt. Andererseits spielt Weiterbildung auch mit Blick auf benachteiligte Gruppen am Arbeitsmarkt eine zentrale Rolle für deren Verbleib bzw. erfolgreiche Integration in Erwerbsarbeit. Allerdings ist die Ausgestaltung der Weiterbildung durch institutionelle Komplexität geprägt. ...

Striking for the Common Good
(2022-08)
The re-emergence of massive strikes in the public education sector, predominantly in the more conservative, union-weak American South, has brought seismic change to the industry and its workers. Solving the puzzle as to why these strikes were so successful against massive obstacles could beget better methods for organizing strikes in a period when neo-liberal reforms threaten public services around the world. Furthermore, an understanding of why these strikes were successful can contribute to the contemporary discourse ...

How can the concept of gender knowledge explain the gendered nature of the European Recovery Fund “NextGenerationEU”?
(2022-08)
The Covid-19-pandemic reproduced many long-existing gender inequalities and created new ones: women are over-represented in underpaid sectors such as the health care sector and were faced with the double burden of paid and reproductive work in the household, when kindergartens closed. As an answer to the global pandemic, the European Union (EU) implemented a recovery package, the #NextGenerationEU (NGEU) Fund. However, this fund reproduces existing gender inequalities, as most of the money is directed to male-dominated ...

Allein die Bevölkerung ab 80 Jahren wird sich im gleichen Zeitraum von 5,4 Millionen auf rund 10,5 Millionen verdoppeln.

Mutations of globalisation and local actors’ agency: phenomena of the Social and Solidarity Economy in Uganda’s Busoga region
(2022-02)
This paper examines transformations occurring in everyday life in Uganda’s Busoga region as a result of globalisation and the population’s responses to its manifestations. This is done with special emphasis on alternative economic practices, which can be classified as activities of the Social and Solidarity Economy. In the course of this study, several such practices have been encountered and turned out to be in a complex relationship with globalisation. A combination of postcolonial theory, the Post-Development ...

Alternatives to ‘development’? Exploring counter‐hegemonic practices (with)in politics, economies and knowledges
(2022-10)
Postdevelopment (PD) proponents have long called for alternatives to ‘development’ as a counter to the logics and impact of Eurocentrism, coloniality and the uncritical belief in euro-modernist ideologies of progress and growth, all of which come to be subsumed as ‘development.’ The question is whether we can think of alternatives to hegemonic models of the economy, politics and knowledge whilst living and being entangled in, through and with them. This paper sets out to examine concrete social and political practices ...
