Objectives
  • Culture, society and history are deeply inscribed in the human body. "Disability Studies", "Cultural Studies", "Queer Studies" or "Gender Studies" reflect the discourses of power that make a difference between what´s normal and what´s deviant. Looking at the body being a social and cultural construct offers a chance to intervene in social conditions.

Objectives
  • Why do we need gender competence within social work?
  • One of the central tasks of social work is to recognize and to foster individuality and the developmental potential of addressees of social work.
  • Traditional gender hierarchies can be counterproductive in this matter.
  • The EU-concept of gender mainstreaming has been ratified, among others, by Germany. The concept has been inscribed, for instance, into SGB (social act) VIII for child- and youth services, and it is a central directive for charities and organizations in the field of social work. Gender competence is crucial for its implementation.
  • Within the course, we will research, methodologically deepen, and critically reflect upon implementations of gender mainstreaming in social entities.
