5th Carl Wolfgang Müller Lecture

Prof.'in Dr.'in Dr.'in h.c. Sabine Andresen

The lecture deals with the question of whether the knowledge of violence in educational processes necessitates a changed conception of education. The starting point for the approach is research and practical experience in dealing with sexual and sexualized violence in the recent past. The images of childhood on the one hand and the social positioning of children on the other are analyzed.

About the C. W. Müller Lecture

The lecture is part of the series of lectures in honor of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Carl Wolfgang Müller, which the Institute for Social Work at the University of Siegen organizes annually. The Department of Education awarded Müller an honorary doctorate in 2006, making him the 19th honorary doctor of the University of Siegen.

With this series of events, the Institute honors Müller as a central figure in university social pedagogy in Germany. Since the early 1970s, he has sustainably established and developed the discipline, first at the Berlin University of Education and later at the TU Berlin. The lecture commemorates his significant academic legacy, his formative influence on social work and at the same time offers a forum for current professional impulses and collegial exchange.
