With respect to the Spatial Turn, an orientation becomes visible which clearly refers to the materiality of spatial arrangements. This trend to re-establish materiality entails the risk of returning behind the state of the Spatial Turn achieved so far. One opportunity to avoid the “space trap” might be to turn to a topological perspective. Such a perspective in adult education opens up for removing blind spots in the reception of the Spatial Turn and thus for the introduction of a frame that ca…
Currently a dilemma within organization studies seems to be represented by, on the one hand, proponents who argue for a retro-wave, to go back to the original ideas of organization studies, the core tasks of enterprises and importance of the relevance of organization studies to practitioners. On the other hand, another contemporary movement may be observed within organization studies, which is to defend the use of general theories of the social sciences. This latter trend is represented through…

However, empirical research indicates that these complex and interdependent decisions are often tackled insufficiently. Digital planning tools can be used to reduce the comple…

In der Theorie und Praxis der Erwachsenenbildung nimmt die Frage nach dem Lehren und Lernen einen breiten Raum ein. Wie aber, wenn Erwachsenenbildung als praktisches Handeln und als Teildisziplin der Erziehungswissenschaft selbst Gegenstand der Lehre ist? Wie verhält sich dann das, was diesen Gegenstand ausmacht und bestimmt, zu den Formen und Prozessen seiner universitären Vermittlung? Welche Erfahrungen werden aus der Sicht von Lehrenden und Studierenden gemacht? Jörg Knoll geht von der Analo…
