What excites you about adult learning and education? Why did you choose to do research in the field of adult learning and education?
In the German discourse, education is mostly a school-related toopic. However, I am convinced that education is a central component of life as a whole and must therefore be considered throughout life. I am particularly interested in how people who have difficult access to education can participate in adult education. As education is fundamental to participation in society, it is essential that all people (e.g. people with a lower socio-economic status, immigrants and asylum seekers, people with disabilities, etc.) can participate. That is why it is important to me in my research to advance this topic and provide important findings for the field of practice so that all adult eduation is accessible and inclusive for all people.
