Book Publication: Poverty and Knowledge

Reproduction and alleviation of poverty in education and science.
edited by Helmut P. Gaisbauer, Elisabeth Kapferer, Andreas Koch & Clemens Sedmak

The authors of this volume investigate the effect of knowledge production and knowledge transfer on poverty situations and social exclusion from the point of view of philosophy, social geography, political science, communication science, theology, social psychology and educational science.
They reflect on different levels of poverty research, from the challenge to grasp local poverty knowledge to international and cross-cultural perspectives. Next to empirical findings, insights show the relevance of  a, for poverty research particularly important, sensibility towards notions and discourses: in the knowledge production as well as in the field of societal practice.
