With contributions from the members of the board of the European Institute of Outdoor Adventure Eduation and Experiential Learning and representatives of the networks that stand b...
Abenteuer- und Erlebnispädagogik
Der Beitrag skizziert die wechselhafte Geschichte der Erlebnispädagogik in Deutschland von der Wende zum 20. bis ins beginnende 21.Jahrhundert und beleuchtet ihre Traditionslinien sowie ihre zunehmende Relevanz in der Sozialen Arbeit und der professionellen Jugendhilfe seit Beginn der 1980er Jahre. Trotz einer vielfach formulierten Skepsis an ihren zivilisations- und kulturkritischen Färbungen, an ihrer linear-positivistischen Begründungsrhetorik und an begrifflich-systematischen Unschärfen konnte sich die Erlebnispädagogik als Praxiskonzept nachhaltig etablieren und dies, obwohl der Austausch mit den Erziehungswissenschaften und mit der Sozialpädagogik weiterhin nur unzureichend entwi...
Contemporary Europe in the Historical Imagination
George L. Mosse (1918-99) was one of the most influential cultural and intellectual historians of modern Europe. A refugee from Nazi Germany, he was an early leader in the study of fascism and the history of sexuality and masculinity, authoring more than two dozen books. In ContemporaryEurope in the Historical Imagination, an international assembly of leading scholars explore Mosse's enduring methodologies in German studies and modern European cultural history. Considering Mosse's life and work historically and critically, the book begins with his intellectual biography and goes on to reread his writings in light of historical developments since his death, and to use, extend, and contend wit...

Teachers and Teacher Unions in a Globalised World
Teachers and Teacher Unions in a Globalised World asks a series of pressing questions of teacher educators, teachers and teacher unions worldwide in this era of global capitalism. As governments around the world support austerity politics in the face of financial meltdowns, social inequalities, terrorist threats, climate catastrophe, wars and mass migrations, the book questions whether practitioners in teaching and teacher education are succumbing to pressures to dismantle their nation-state systems of education. The authors present a clearly argued case in Ireland for teachers and teacher educators organising to realise their moral and social responsibilities of free and fair schooling for ...
Learning Beyond the School
Whilst learning is central to most understandings of what it is to be human, we now live in a knowledge society where being educated defines life chances more than ever before. Learning Beyond the School brings together accounts of learning from around the world in organisations, spaces and places that are schooled, but not school. Exploring examples of learning organisation, pedagogisation, informal learning and social education, the book shows not only how understandings of education are framed in terms of local versions of schooling, but what being educated could and should mean in very different social and political contexts. With contributions from scholars based in Australia, Europe, t...
Democratic Education and the Teacher-As-Prophet
This volume aims to reveal how Dewey’s notion of the religious—understood as faith in the human relational condition—offers a way to think differently about the aims and purposes of education. After exploring the effects of neoliberal conceptions of schooling against broader democratic forms of education, this book suggests that Dewey’s vision of the "teacher-as-prophet" is a useful model for positioning teachers as agents of social change. By catalysing the religious work of schools—understood not as teaching religion, but as a process of social unification—the Deweyan teacher-as-prophet can stimulate experimentation towards a democratic ideal of schooling.
