Division for Women’s and Gender Studies in Educational Research
About the division
The Division for Women’s and Gender Studies in Educational Research consists of educational scientists who are members of the German Educational Research Association (GERA) and who do research from a gender perspective on theory and practice of educational thought and action. Women's and gender studies in educational science is a widely differentiated field: school pedagogy and social work, adult education, vocational and business education, historical and biographical research of pedagogical fields are part of the division’s interests. General pedagogical questions, fundamental ways of thinking in educational science and fields of pedagogical action are reflected with regard to gender relations in society. Many impulses for the revision and reorganization of pedagogical fields and of educational theory have emerged from the results and critique of women's studies.
