| Abstract (English): |
The report summarizes the international and interdisciplinary conference “Exploring Vulnerability in Childhood – Between Normalization and Disablement,” which took place in September 2025 at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The focus was on vulnerability, autonomy, and disabilities in childhood, with a special emphasis on the connection between philosophical, educational science, and disability studies perspectives. Vulnerability was discussed as a relational and ambivalent concept that can enable care but also provoke control and exclusion. The conference demonstrated that disability is understood as a relational concept that shapes childhoods and influences the self-perception of children with disabilities. Overall, the event promoted academic exchange and opened up new research approaches linking childhood studies and disability studies. [Extracted from the article] |
| Abstract (German): |
Der Bericht fasst die internationale und interdisziplinäre Tagung „Exploring Vulnerability in Childhood – Between Normalization and Disablement“ zusammen, die im September 2025 an der Universität Duisburg-Essen stattfand. Im Mittelpunkt standen Vulnerabilität, Autonomie und Behinderungen (Disability) in Kindheiten, wobei ein besonderer Fokus auf der Verbindung von philosophischen, erziehungswissenschaftlichen und Disability-Studies-Perspektiven lag. Diskutiert wurde Vulnerabilität als relationales und ambivalentes Konzept, das sowohl Fürsorge ermöglichen als auch Kontrolle und Exklusion hervorrufen kann. Die Tagung zeigte, dass Behinderung als relationales Konzept verstanden wird, das Kindheiten prägt und die Selbstwahrnehmung von Kindern mit Behinderungen beeinflusst. Insgesamt förderte die Veranstaltung den wissenschaftlichen Austausch und eröffnete neue Forschungsansätze zur Verbindung von Kindheitsforschung und Disability Studies. [Extracted from the article] |
