Gender, Health and Ageing
The different research fields – gerontology, gender and health – have generated different views, knowledge and foci on ageing, health and gender. It is now necessary to integrate these aspects into research, policy and practice. The objective of this book is to provide an overview of gender, health and ageing. Important theoretical concepts, such as life course and "Lebenslagen" in old age, or differences in men's health, are introduced. It is increasingly important to build a European basis of knowledge, to conduct discussions on European research findings, and to develop European research frameworks. In this volume, central theoretical debates on gender impacts on life course and old-age health, and vital issues of health research in the context of gender and old age are introduced. Specific aspects, such as the impact of gender and age on cardiovascular health, elder abuse and mental health, or care between gender relations, gender roles and gender constructs, are pointed out. Special attention is given to the impact of social, political and economic change in different New EU Member States, like Hungary, Poland and Slovenia.

Capabilities - Handlungsbefähigung und Verwirklichungschancen in der Erziehungswissenschaft
Mit diesem international besetzen Sammelband wird das Thema des 'Capability Approach' erstmals für die deutschsprachige Erziehungswissenschaft zusammengefasst. In der Bestimmung und Definition von 'Handlungsbefähigung' wird der Versuch unternommen, sowohl pädagogisch als auch sozialanalytisch zu einem neuen Gerechtigkeitsbegriff zu kommen, der die Zukunft der Erziehungswissenschaft maßgeblich beeinflussen kann.
Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry
In Theology, Empowerment, and Prison Ministry Meins G.S. Coetsier offers a new account of Karl Rahner’s theological anthropology and the prison pastorate with a contemporary expansion for meaning, seeking an antidote to the suffering of those incarcerated with a “theology of empowerment.”
Social work
In many regions of the world the twenty-first century has started with a structure of endless challenges for social work. Social work seems to be in demand almost everywhere, from support schemes for children and young people into adulthood and on to support for elderly people, in community work in cities and rural regions, in disaster relief and in care for refugees. This book describes the field of social work – its themes, problems and methods – in the face of the concept of the second, reflexive modernisation. The question needs to be asked of how, and whether, social work’s success story from the first modernity can continue. We discuss the second modernity as a time of blurring boundaries. Today, it frequently faces the problem that the organised terms of its approaches come up against a social reality where the frameworks of social life are becoming dynamic. Normalised structures are dissolving or becoming mixed with new ones; boundaries are blurring and new ones appearing.
Die flexible Supervision
Flexibilität wird zu einem zentralen Begriff für neue Arbeitsformen und erhöhte Kompetenzanforderungen an die Beschäftigten in allen Arbeitsbereichen der Gesellschaft. Dies hat zwangsläufig Folgen für die Supervision. Sie ist selbst Teil gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen, unterliegt denselben Bedingungen wie andere Arbeitsfelder und zeigt sich ebenfalls höchst flexibel. Die Beiträge in diesem Band geben einen Einblick in die Vielfalt der Zugänge zum Wandel von Arbeits- und Organisationsstrukturen in seiner Bedeutung für Supervision.
Prozessethik
Im Zentrum dieses Buches steht die Frage, wie ethische Entscheidungen in modernen Organisationen und Unternehmen heute sinnvoll organisiert werden können. Der Ansatz der Prozessethik impliziert ein praxisorientiertes Beratungsmodell, das praktisch bereits erprobt ist und in den vielfältigsten Kontexten eingesetzt werden kann. Larissa Krainer und Peter Heintel bieten eine philosphische Fundierung von Prozessethik an, stellen zentrale Prämissen sowie Modellvorstellungen dieses Ansatzes vor und diskutieren verschiedene Felder der Angewandten Ethik. Praxisorientierte Hinweise zur Einrichtung und Organisation ethischer Entscheidungsprozesse runden das vorliegende Buch ab.
Reframing Demographic Change in Europe
Demographic change in Europe has been a topic of great public and political interest since the 1990s. The central aim of this book is to create new questions for research by connecting the topics of demographic change, of the restructuring of the welfare state and of change in gender relations. The articles have a closer look at the interrelation of these social and political changes by highlighting different national situations as well as different theoretical and empirical aspects. They try to reframe the 'problem' of demographic change by analyzing it in the context of gender and welfare state transformations.
Germany and Vocational Education in Republican China
This book offers a new perspective on the transnational dimensions of China’s educational and economic history by focusing on Sino-German interactions in the field of vocational education. It explores how Chinese perceptions of manual work, vocational skills, and educational practices changed dramatically throughout the first half of the twentieth century as Chinese educators increased their efforts to study and translate German pedagogical writings. Case studies researched in this book illustrate how a Chinese appreciation for German technological and scientific advances and German interests in profiting from a growing Chinese economy are not just recent phenomena but have their roots in the early twentieth century.
Spirituelle Sorge um Menschen mit Demenz
Carmen Birkholz zeigt, dass die subjektiven Spiritualitätskonzepte von Pflegenden und Begleitenden wesentlich für sie selbst und für ihr Sorgehandeln in Bezug auf Menschen mit Demenz am Lebensende sind. Dazu untersucht sie in vier Pflegeeinrichtungen mit unterschiedlichem religiösem und weltanschaulichem Hintergrund die subjektiven Spiritualitätskonstruktionen und beschreibt, dass diese unabhängig von der Religionszugehörigkeit sind. Unterschiede ergeben sich nicht in erster Linie von der Personenstruktur, sondern insbesondere durch die Rolle und den jeweiligen Handlungsspielraum in der Organisation.
