Business, Economics & LawMay 2013Der Anti-Bias-Ansatz
Beiträge zur theoretischen Fundierung und Professionalisierung der Praxis
by Trisch, Oliver / Reihe herausgegeben von Hahn, Harald
The Anti-Bias Approach. Contributions to the Theoretical Foundation and Professionalisation of Practice The anti-bias approach, which originated in the USA and was further developed in South Africa for adult education, has also been successfully applied in various fields of practice in Germany since the mid-1990s. The focus of the anti-bias work is on dealing with one's own experiences of discrimination and developing alternative approaches to action against discrimination at various levels. The approach opens up the possibility of consciously and responsibly dealing with experiences, privileges, and power. Oliver Trisch's qualitative-empirical study aims to provide a theoretical foundation for the anti-bias approach, paying particular attention to the historical context in Germany. The study is aimed in particular at interested practitioners who are active in anti-discrimination work. On the basis of eight interviews with experts, theoretical foundations are developed, for example on the relationship between theory and practice, on theory-practice transfer or on the central concept of discrimination. In addition, the approach is embedded in the German context, for example along the specific historical challenges of Germany or the demarcation and overlap with other approaches such as human rights education or social justice education. In addition, Trisch addresses questions of professionalisation and quality development and assurance; for example, he critically discusses the concept of competence and develops criteria for the team composition of seminars. Oliver Trisch makes a valuable contribution to the theoretical foundation and professionalisation of one of the richest and most innovative approaches in recent anti-discrimination work. *** Der aus den USA stammende und in Südafrika für die Erwachsenenbildung weiterentwickelte Anti-Bias-Ansatz wird seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre auch in Deutschland in verschiedenen Praxisfeldern erfolgreich angewendet. Im Vordergrund der Anti-Bias-Arbeit stehen die Auseinandersetzung mit eigenen Diskriminierungserfahrungen sowie die Entwicklung alternativer Handlungsansätze gegen Diskriminierung auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Der Ansatz eröffnet dabei die Möglichkeit, bewusst und verantwortungsvoll mit Erfahrungen, Privilegien und Macht umzugehen. Oliver Trischs qualitativ-empirische Studie zielt darauf, den Anti-Bias-Ansatz unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des historischen Kontexts in Deutschland theoretisch zu fundieren. Die Studie richtet sich dabei insbesondere auch an interessierte Praktiker_innen, die in der Antidiskriminierungsarbeit tätig sind. Auf der Grundlage von acht Expert_inneninterviews werden theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet, etwa zum Verhältnis von Theorie und Praxis, zum Theorie-Praxis-Transfer oder zum zentralen Begriff der Diskriminierung. Zudem erfolgt eine Einbettung des Ansatzes in den deutschen Kontext, beispielsweise entlang der spezifischen historischen Herausforderungen Deutschlands oder der Abgrenzung und Überschneidung zu weiteren Ansätzen wie etwa der Menschenrechtsbildung oder der Social Justice Education. Weiterhin geht Trisch Fragen zur Professionalisierung sowie Qualitätsentwicklung und -sicherung nach; so nimmt er zum Beispiel eine kritische Diskussion des Begriffs der Kompetenz vor und erarbeitet Kriterien für die Teamzusammensetzung von Seminaren. Oliver Trisch leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag zur theoretischen Fundierung und Professionalisierung eines der reichhaltigsten und innovativsten Ansätze der jüngeren Antidiskriminierungsarbeit.
