Postdoc in PostDocDual on the topic "Traditional families in Germany and internationally"
The aim of my research project "Traditionelle Familien in Deutschland und international" is to develop strategies that make problematic traditional families accessible to social work services and enable them to lead a self-determined and socially responsible life. My practice partners are the Berlin-Brandenburg association KommMit e.V., which offers psychosocial and legal counselling for refugees, and the human rights organisation MEMORIAL Deutschland e.V., which carries out civil society projects in Chechnya and other post-Soviet regions.
I carry out my empirical research work in Germany, Chechnya and other selected regions in parallel. I am analysing and comparing the prerequisites and conditions of social work in the regions involved. One focus of the survey is on how social workers and civil society actors from women's rights work with socially anchored traditions that cannot be reconciled with secular legislation. Together with the professionals involved and the target group (traditional families), a qualification concept is being developed that can resolve this contradiction in the interests of the families' well-being.
I am an expert on Chechnya and the Chechen diaspora.
My practice partners: KommMit e.V. and MEMORIAL Deutschland e.V.
