Exploring Islamic Social Work
This open access book addresses, for the first time, Islamic social work as an emerging concept at the interface of Islamic thought and social sciences. Applying a multidisciplinary approach it explores, on the one hand, the discourse that provides religious legitimisation to social work activities and, on the other hand, case studies of practical fields of Islamic social work including educational programmes, family counselling, and resettlement of prisoners. Although in many cases, these activities are oriented towards Muslim clients, more often than not they go beyond the boundaries of Muslim communities to benefit society as a whole. Muslim actors are also starting to professionalise the...
International Handbook of Migration, Minorities and Education
Migrants and minorities are always at risk of being caught in essentialized cultural definitions and being denied the right to express their cultural preferences because they are perceived as threats to social cohesion. Migrants and minorities respond to these difficulties in multiple ways — as active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific processes that position them in this or that cultural sphere. On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and workplace, in order to achieve social mobility. On the other hand, they articulate demands for cultural self-determination. This di...
Migration and Social Pathways
The landscape of European migration has changed considerably over the past decades, in particular after the fall of the iron curtain and again after the EU enlargement to the east. The author researches the phenomenon of highly qualified migration using the example of migration between the Czech Republic and Germany.

Rassismuserfahrungen in der Jugendhilfe
Wie gehen Jugendliche mit Rassismuserfahrungen und Zugehörigkeitsfragen um und wie kommunizieren sie über Formen von Alltagsrassismus mit den sie betreuenden Pädagogen und Pädagoginnen? Erstmals wird in einer qualitativ-empirischen Untersuchung das Vorhandensein "Interkultureller Kompetenzen" in der ambulanten Jugendhilfe untersucht. Neben der Präsentation von Neuerungen in der Rassismustheorie und einer Analyse aktueller Studien zu Rassismus und Rechtsextremismus wurden sieben männliche Jugendliche mit "Immigrationshintergrund" und sieben Pädagogen und Pädagoginnen jeweils in Einzelinterviews und einem Paarinterview befragt. Vor dem Hintergrund migrationssensibler und rassismuskritischer Konzepte sowie der Analyse professioneller Standards in der Sozialen Arbeit erfolgt die Analyse der Handlungspraxen der Pädagogen und werden Empfehlungen für die Ausbildung und Praxis in der Sozialen Arbeit entwickelt. Claus Melter, Studium der Interkulturellen Pädagogik, Ausbildung als Berater für die Arbeit mit gewalttätigen Jungen und Männern, seit acht Jahren in der Jugendhilfe tätig sowie als Fortbildner und Mitarbeiter in Projekten und Initiativen.
Bildung, Gesellschaftstheorie und Soziale Arbeit
Bildungspolitik ist Gesellschaftspolitik. Das besondere Verhältnis von Bildung und Gesellschaft spiegelt sich in einem breiten Spektrum an Wissenschaftsfeldern wie der Bildungsforschung, der Gesellschaftsanalyse, der Erforschung sozialer Ungleichheit, der Kindheitsforschung und der Geschichte und Theorie der Sozialen Arbeit. Im Mittelpunkt der hier versammelten Beiträge stehen Fragen nach der Bildung aller, der konkreten Realisierung von bürgerrechtlichen Ansprüchen auf Bildung, um Perspektiven für eine gerechtere Gesellschaft entwickeln zu können.
