Childhood, Youth and Migration
This book shows the different ways in which migration matters in the context of global and local childhood and youth. Furthermore, it highlights that childhood, youth and migration as well as local and global perspectives need to be thought and analyzed together, to address the significant dimensions of social inequality in the context of growing up. Migration as a phenomenon is most often motivated by the search for a better life. Very often children and young people, migrating alone or together with their families, migrate to ameliorate their own or others’ living conditions and seize opportunities for realizing a good life. Today as well as in the past this search for a better life is very often triggered by socio-economic reasons, war or terrorism. Against the backdrop of the topic raised above the book deals with children and young people’s own perspective in countries of migration. It promotes the idea of connecting global and local issues of childhood and youth with a special focus on questions of education. It studies questions of global and local living and highlights living circumstances shaped by patterns of migration and mobility.
Improving Religious Education Through Teacher Training
This book brings together two topics which have both been of increasing interest in different countries. The first refers to the quality of Religious Education as a school subject (RE) in general, the second is about the education of teachers of RE and its possible contribution to better quality RE. There have been many public, and often controversial, debates concerning both of these topics. The chapters contained in this volume, however, are not meant to continue such debates (even if it is inevitable that they will contribute to these debates as well), but to make use of research, especially research on teacher education in the field of RE, in order to provide insights based not just on political or personal opinions, but on rigorous academic scholarship.
Sexuality, Gender And Religion In Contemporary Discourses
One of the most current issues occupying both public and academic discourse is sexuality and the related issues of sexual self-determination, gender order, and homophobia. Religion has a significant role to play in this discourse. This centrality of religion is evident not only in the question of moral concepts, but also in questions of the understanding of the body and gender. In this context, it should be emphasized that religion - or, more precisely, a particular interpretation of the religious - can have both a conflict-promoting and an emancipatory effect. If one wants to conceptualize a contemporary theological understanding, then it is necessary to receive medical, psychological as well as social and cultural science research. The anthology aims to thematize these debates and to broaden the view for the multi-layered processes of change taking place in the discourses.

International Knowledge Transfer in Religious Education
This book is about international knowledge transfer in religious education as an academic discipline; at the same time, though, it is related to the school subject of RE. Its aim is to strengthen the awareness of the need for international cooperation in the field of religious education in general and especially for clarifying the role of knowledge in this kind of cooperation. The contributions discuss a number of issues, among others related to the validity and transferability of knowledge in religious education. Thus, the book takes up a topic which so far has remained implicit and therefore also untreated. This approach implies a whole spectrum of new methodological and epistemological pr...
The English-language Press Networks of East Asia, 1918-1945
This study is the first to assess the combined significance of the English-language newspapers of China, Japan and Korea in the period 1918-45. It not only frames the English-language press networks in the international media history of East Asia but also relates them to media developments in the ‘British world’ linking Fleet Street to the Empire and Dominions, and to the rise of the United States as a broker of international opinion on and in the Asia-Pacific. The English-language newspapers occupied a narrow but significant segment of the public sphere in East Asia in the inter-war years.As forums of opinion on Japanese, Chinese and Western interests in East Asia, they also served as v...

"Hauptsache, du hast eine Meinung und einen eigenen Glauben"
Der fünfte Band des neuen Jahrbuchs für Kinder- und Jugendtheologie beschäftigt sich mit dem Themenbereich "Positionalität". Positionalisierungsprozesse spielen im Religionsunterricht und damit auch in der (Aus-)Bildung religionspädagogischer Kompetenz eine wichtige Rolle. Das Jahrbuch widmet sich deshalb der Frage der Positionalität (nicht nur) in der Kinder- und Jugendtheologie. Es erschließt den Begriff und das Phänomen theologisch, entwicklungspsychologisch und religionspädagogisch, beschreibt Positionalisierungsprozesse im Lebenskunde-, Ethik-, Philosophie-, im christlichen, jüdischen und islamischen (Religions-)unterricht und reflektiert empirische Einblicke dazu aus der Unterrichtspraxis und über eine Schulbuchanalyse.
Alternative Fakten, Fake News und Verwandtes
Täuschung und Lüge sind ein uraltes Phänomen. Unter den Bezeichnungen "alternative Fakten", "Fake News" und dergleichen haben sie neue Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes, ursprünglich Vorträge im Rahmen einer Vechtaer Ringvorlesung, gehen Wissenschaftler dem Phänomen aus der Sicht ihrer Fachrichtung nach: Psychologie, Pädagogik, Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Geschichte, Theologie, Bildungswissenschaft und Geschlechterforschung.
