The dossier was produced in cooperation with korientation e.V. and the magazine freitext . On this page you can also find an audio conversation between Kien Nghi Ha, Mutlu Ergün and Julia Brilling…

This blog sees itself as an empowerment tool “for people who have experienced classism. The author sees herself as a Poverty Class Academic – i.e. as an academic who is far from the educated bourgeoisie and socialized in a lower class. There are few German-language pages on classism – this one is meant to be a supplement from a lifeworldly – personal – perspective and makes no claim to be complete.” (http://clararosa.blogsport.de/ueber-class-matters/)
The “online magazine by migratinnen for all” is published by “the autonomous migrant women’s self-organization maiz in Linz.

This text by Chandra-Milena Danielzik deals with reproductions of racism and exclusions in the field of global learning or education for sustainable development. Abstract: A postcolonial and racism-critical analysis perspective makes clear that historically grown (colonial) power and domination relations are not fundamentally questioned in the fields of Global Learning and Education for Sustainable Development. In their current orientation, both pedagogical fields of action thereby contribute to the stabilization of inequality relations on a social, political and economic level, both in the North-South context and within the German migration society. In order to counteract a reproduction of power asymmetries, the…
