CLASS TOPIC
The conference explores the question of which premises are relevant to the topics of poverty, class and the associated experiences of exclusion in the present and what significance they have for the profession of social work. Professionals, students, academics and researchers who work in social work practice and/or work and research on poverty will be confronted with the question of how they can talk about poverty; with clients, with people affected by poverty, with other researchers. We see the thematization in the sense of speaking, researching and reflecting as the basis for developing a strategy for dealing with the causes and consequences of poverty. The approach is from the perspective of the critique of classism.
The conference will take place on Monday/Tuesday, June 23/24, 2025 at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences. It will begin on Monday afternoon and end on Tuesday afternoon. A harbour tour with a creative evening program is planned for Monday evening.
