Youth Cultures in a Globalized World
This book examines the relation between the phenomenon of globalization, changes in the lifeworld of young people and the development of specific youth cultures. It explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of globalization on young people.

Supervision und Coaching
Supervision und Coaching sind wirksame Instrumente der Qualitätssicherung professioneller Arbeit im Sozial- und Bildungsbereich. Und mehr noch: Sie tragen als Praxisforschung zu Innovation und Entwicklung bei. SupervisorInnen und Coaches beforschen - unter Einbeziehung der professionell Handelnden - Praxis und schaffen Wissen: Situationsbeschreibungen, Veränderungsperspektiven und Handlungsstrategien - Innen(an)sichten von Arbeits- und Organisationszusammenhängen. WissenschaftlerInnen und BeraterInnen haben sich auf eine gemeinsame Spurensuche begeben und fragen, wie Wissen in und über Supervision und Coaching hervorgebracht wird und wie unterschiedliche Zugänge in Forschung und Beratung besser vernetzt werden können.
