The Future of Childhood Studies
Since the 1990s, the emerging field of childhood studies has been a catalyst for empirical research, policy analysis, and the development of professional practice. Which concepts and theories are the most helpful in analyzing phenomena relevant to children's lives? The Future of Childhood Studies reflects on this debate and discusses current challenges of major disciplines within the social studies of childhood. The contributions approach the question of how childhood studies needs to and might develop in the future by focusing on: -the social and cultural character of childhood in relation to the generational order--change or continuity? -the social construction of childhood and children's ...

The Diversity of Social Pedagogy in Europe
Situated at the intersection between social work and education, social pedagogy is an original and dynamic academic and professional tradition. It can be found across most European countries and shows great variety, being closely connected to specific national - and sometimes even regional cultures and structures. Yet despite this diversity, social pedagogy also has many common features, cross-nationally. The aim of the book is to illustrate this diversity via a selection of case studies from Denmark, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden. Although social pedagogy is, in many countries, a profession that represents a sizeable workforce, very little has been written about it from a European pers...
Internment Refugee Camps
How did and does the fate of refugees unfold in internment camps? The contributors to this book facilitate an extensive engagement with the organized, state led, and forced placement of refugees in the past and present. They show the parallels and differences between the practices and types of internment in different countries - while considering the specific historical contexts. Moreover, they highlight the nexus of relationships and agencies which constitute the camps in question as transitory spaces. The contributions consist of analyses of local phenomena or case studies as well as comparative engagements from an international and/or historical perspective.

Seit den 1990er Jahren ist das aufstrebende Feld der Kinderforschung ein Katalysator für empirische Forschung, für Politikanalyse und für die Entwicklung der beruflichen Praxis.

Zur Gerechtigkeitsfrage in sozialen (Frauen-)Berufen
Personenbezogene soziale Dienstleistungsberufe befinden sich aktuell in einer kontroversen Lage: Auf der einen Seite erfahren sie eine erhebliche Expansion, begleitet von steigenden Qualitätsansprüchen an Erziehungs-, Bildungs-, Betreuungs- und Pflegetätigkeiten. Auf der anderen Seite entspricht die Anerkennung dieser Frauenberufe jedoch nach wie vor nicht ihrer tatsächlichen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Bedeutung. Dieses Spannungsfeld erörtern die AutorInnen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.
Pedagogical Documentation in Early Childhood Education
Today, the documentation of children's education and development is an important part of educational work in early childhood education. This book systematises the topic of pedagogical documentation based on current empirical research. The book analyses different pedagogical reasons for documentation and then presents and discusses different procedures of pedagogical documentation in theory and empirical practice : Portfolio, Learning Stories, pedagogical documentation in the room, project documentation and digital pedagogical documentation. Pedagogical documentation is discussed in the tension between a social constructivist understanding of education on the one hand and a diagnostic logic of fostering on the other. The book is intended as a part of pedagogically oriented childhood research, which also wants to contribute to the reflection and improvement of pedagogical practice.

Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders
Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders: Social Work, Migration Management and Resistance addresses the topics of social work and international migration, with specific focus on the consequences of EU border externalization policies. The increasingly authoritarian character of EU border management raises a number of issues related to the role of social work within a context that is heavily charged, both ideologically and politically. After theoretically and historically contextualizing externalization with explicit attention to (neo)colonial genealogies of the current migration regimes, this book examines the complex inter-relations of social workers with key actors, namely ...
