At the Department of Intercultural Education, we focus on crucial questions of inequality in education, such as:
What are the implications of (forced) migration, globalisation and social inequalities for education, socialisation, learning and teaching?
To what extent are educational actors, practices, concepts, and organisations involved in the production and maintenance of ideologies of inequality (e.g. racism, linguicism, antisemitism, right-wing extremism, etc.) and precarious orders of (non-)belonging?
Where are possibilities for intervention and deconstruction, i.e. which pedagogical models, concepts, measures (at certain moments) contribute to a normalisation of migration and a de-dramatisation of migration-related diversity as well as to an increase in educational equity?
Which theories and empirical research perspectives are suitable for a power-critical analysis of processes of education and socialisation under conditions of dominance, especially in regard to migration and asylum regimes?
