I am a Master's student in adult education. This field of study is very interesting for me and allows me to have a lot of theoretical knowledge in the field that can serve as a good basis for practice. My spezialisation is corporate education and media didactics. These disciplines work with the idea of equality and the possibility for all adults to take part to education.
I also work as a student assistant in the Department of Adult Education, under the guidance of Professor Schreiber-Barsch.

What is particularly important to you in your work in CG?
meet many people from different national backgrounds, with different perspectives. And learn more about adult education and disability in other countries.

Status in AEA: Co-Moderator of CG 9

University / company:
I'm research associate in Adult Education at the University of Duisburg-Essen, located in the far west of Germany. I've been teaching and also researching for several years at universities. Some month ago I've just started to work in the transnational context and I'm focussing emancipatory approaches in Adult Education, e.g. Paulo Freire's "Education for liberation" and on questions of solidarity. Before I've joined academic field again, I was working as an educational expert for a youth movement (Socialist Youth of Germany – The Falcons). It's my first time at the AEA in Würzburg and I'm really happy to be part of it.

What is particularly important to you in your work in CG?
For me science and professional practice, it's all about having good and intense dialogues, sharing experiences in the field of AE and disabilities, finding commons and differences and learning from each other, whether it's an academic or an professional point of few.
