Hier sind wir!

Here we are! A title that whets the appetite for the perspective of a young feminist, that also wants to invite joint dialogues and provides insights into the historical development of a feminist professional understanding within the framework of the first and second German women’s movements. In addition, the focus is on a new generation of feminist women and professional self-understandings are explored. Taking political developments into account, current references and historically developed women's movement traditions are thus critically examined and alternatives are developed with regard to intergenerational relationships.»Hier sind wir!« Ein Titel, der Lust macht auf die Perspektive einer jungen Feministin, der auch zu gemeinsamen Dialogen einladen will und Einsichten in die historische Entwicklung eines feministischen Berufsverständnisses im Rahmen der ersten und zweiten deutschen Frauenbewegung gewährt. Darüber hinaus wird der Blick auf eine neue Generation feministischer Frauen gerichtet und berufliche Selbstverständnisse erforscht. Unter Berücksichtigung politischer Entwicklungen werden damit aktuelle Bezüge und historisch gewachsene, frauenbewegte Traditionen kritisch geprüft und Alternativen in Bezug auf intergenerative Beziehungen entwickelt

Hier sind wir! Junge feministische Sozialpädagoginnen und ihre Aufforderung zu einem Dialog der Generationen

(De-)Thematisierungen und neoliberale Verdeckungen am Beispiel feministischer Mädchen_arbeit : ein Zwischenruf

In diesem Artikel wird am Beispiel der Praxis feministischer Mädchen_arbeit1 über Gender im Spannungsfeld zwischen Gleichstellung, Differenz und Vereinnahmung – auch im Hinblick auf die Mechanismen und Verdeckungen neoliberaler Aktivierungen – refl ektiert. Die Überlegungen zeichnen sich durch einen parteilichen Praxisbezug sowie ein feministisches Wissenschaftsverständnis aus. Die Ausführungen sind als dialogische und politische Positionierung angelegt, um eine Thematisierung und Auseinandersetzung zu ermöglichen und anzuregen. Dieser Beitrag ist als Zwischenruf zu verstehen, der zur weiteren Diskussion einlädt.Feminist (social) work with girls as an example of (de-)thematizing and neoliberal masking – an interjection In this article we reflect on gender issues caught between gender equality, difference and usurpation, using the example of feminist (social) work with girls and taking into account the mechanisms and masking effects of neoliberal activations. Our ideas are characterized by a partisan foundation in reality and a feminist understanding of science. The line of argument is based on a dialogi- cal and political positioning, which is aimed at stimulating and facilitating a thematization and debate. We would like the article to be seen as an interjection which invites further discussion

Post-harmonisation of NTS Data

An essential prerequisite for research, decision making and effective policies in the field of sustainable transport are reliable data on travel behaviour. In particular comparative analyses over space or time allow for a better understanding of transport systems and their impact on travel behaviour. Further, there is an increasing need for comparable transport indicators at the international level. All along, National Travel Surveys (NTS) have been used to perform such analyses and to generate respective indicators. Despite their similar intention to elicit basic information on travel behaviour, there are considerable differences in terms of the overall survey design across countries. While this variety clearly reflects requirements of the stakeholders and national particularities, it is unclear to which degree the results are comparable. In order to obtain comparable indicators that reflect behavioural differences rather than methodological ones, in the context of the COST Action SHANTI (Survey Harmonisation with New Technologies Improvement, TUD0804) an ex-post harmonisation approach was developed using microdata from twelve European NTS’s. The paper presents both concept and basic principles of ex-post harmonisation, beginning with some general reflections on the potential impact of survey characteristics such as methodology, coverage and definitions on results. The process of ex-post harmonisation as performed by SHANTI is briefly outlined, followed by a discussion of benefits as well as challenges and current limitations. As long as international standardisation in terms of ex-ante harmonisation of survey methods is not taking place, ex-post harmonisation is considered as pragmatic and important approach to utilise data previously incomparable

Improving comparability of survey results through ex-post harmonisation - A case study with twelve European national travel surveys

An essential prerequisite for research, decision making and effective policies in the field of sustainable transport are reliable data on travel behaviour.

Survey harmonisation with new technlogies improvement (SHANTI)

The Shanti COST Action has coordinated research efforts on data harmonization for transport surveys across Europe. Guidelines for harmonizing surveys are not only a statistical problem, because each country also needs to analyze survey results throughout time (time series in the perspective of previous surveys on the same thematic issues with normally the same design) and changing the protocol or the definitions may have an impact on indicators in the sense that the changing behavior could be confused with changes in methodology. Therefore a bottom up approach relying on the skills of the researchers involved in the field of national travel surveys and so quite well knowing their particularities sounds more promising and could lead to more acceptable guidelines. To make results of different survey approaches comparable, it is necessary to develop a methodology or heuristic in which way a transition from one design to another can be derived and how the results of either survey approach can be "translated" or transformed into the results of another
