Underdevelopment in Peru
At a time when Peru continues to reel from the impact of Covid-19 and the eruption of corruption scandals involving five former presidents, this book analyzes the persistence and the structural underpinnings of underdevelopment in Peru.

Miriam's Legacy
This is a historical novel about Palestine. The characters are fictitious, but the dates, locations and historical events are real. The story begins in the Shatila Refugee Camp in Lebanon in 1982, the year of the massacre. The main character is a schoolboy, Farres, to whom his great-grandmother, Miriam, hands over a string of worry beads to remind him of Palestine, just before she dies. The story then reverts to life in a village of Northern Palestine, not far from the city of Haifa, where Miriam lives as a young girl. Alternate chapters unfold the life of Miriam in the early 1900s culminating with her exile into Lebanon in 1948. At the same time it unfolds the life of Farres, growing up in a refugee camp but with dreams of becoming a doctor and of one day seeing the land of his forefathers.

Wie lässt sich die strukturelle Ausbeutung weiblich konnotierter Care-Arbeit für andere, aber auch die Ausbeutung nicht-menschlicher Natur überwinden?

In dem Band werden Beweggründe und Perspektiven care-politischer Initiativen vorgestellt, die seit der Covid-19-Pandemie an Bedeutung gewinnen.
Öffentliche Soziologie
Öffentliche Soziologie, wie sie mit dem Konzept der "Public Sociology" in die Diskussion gebracht worden ist, zielt auf den Dialog und engen Austausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft. Indem gesellschaftlich drängende Fragen auf die soziologische Agenda gesetzt werden und wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse öffentlich diskutiert werden, schlägt sie eine Brücke zwischen Alltags- und Gesellschaftskritik. Der Band stellt das Konzept vor, zeigt beispielhaft, wie öffentliche Soziologie international praktiziert wird und welche Aufgaben, Versprechen und Herausforderungen sich im Dialog zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft zeigen.
