Pedagogical work requires the willingness to engage with new situations and with people in their diversity. This book does not offer any simple recipes, but a gentle approach to important steps towards professionalisation in the teaching profession. These lead via an open attitude of perception and the inclusion of corporeality to an insight into how learning and teaching processes can be understood in a new or different way. With vignettes and examples from different pedagogical fields, the theoretical concepts are presented and reflected on their application. The book contains an English-language and a Greek-language version.

Die Identitat von Migrant*innen und ihre Zugehorigkeit zu einer Minderheit oder zur Mehrheitsgesellschaft ist ein kontroverses politisches Thema, das Einblicke in die Herausforderungen der Integration und des sozialen Zusammenhalts bietet. Ausgehend von einem zweidimensionalen Modell der ethnischen Identitat fragt das Buch nach der Rolle des sozialen Status fur die Identifikation von Migrant*innen mit ihrer Herkunftsgruppe und der Mehrheitsbevolkerung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Unterschieden zwischen den Generationen, der Sichtbarkeit von Migrant*innen, der Diskrepanz zwischen den Status und der Situation im Aufnahmeland. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Formen ethnischer Identitat, die uber die klassische Annahme der gegenseitigen Ausschlielichkeit hinausgehen, was auf eine Minderheitenidentitat bei Migrant*innen mit niedrigem Status und eine Mehrheitsidentitat bei Migranten mit hohem Status hindeutet.
