Social dominance relations challenge pedagogy and confront it with the danger of its reproduction. In theoretical and empirical studies, Christine Riegel examines processes of othering and their consequences for educational processes: To what extent does othering occur in schools and youth work? In what ways is critical anti-discrimination educational work involved in this? And what contradictions and potentials for change emerge in the pedagogical engagement with difference and inequality? In doing so, she discusses intersectionality as an analytical and reflective perspective for research and pedagogical practice in contradictory conditions.
