Issue 1/2026 of ZFW focuses on the migration perspective and at the same time invites an analysis of related issues relevant to adult education from an intersectional perspective. Intersectional approaches should help to understand migration-related challenges in adult and continuing education in their complex interactions with other categories (e.g. social background, gender, age). Furthermore, this issue aims to establish a dialogue with international perspectives. These are intended to inspire German-language adult education as both a field of research and as a field of practice to place itself more in relation to global issues and to learn from projects, knowledge and experiences in other parts of the world.

We therefore invite you to submit contributions that analyze the following topics from a national and/or international perspective in an intersectional way:

  • current approaches to understanding migration in adult education and its significance in theory, research and educational practice
  • informal and civic learning and educational processes in the context of migration
  • innovative theoretical and methodological approaches in educational practice and research that take into account the interplay of different categories of difference
  • the potential of international perspectives in the field of migration and adult education
  • adult education concepts for dealing with racist ideologies that threaten democracy
  • political education and active citizenship in the context of migration society
  • use of alternative concepts (e.g. abolition pedagogy, postcolonial pedagogy, community learning, transformative justice, etc.) in adult education spaces
  • future designs and utopias on the topics of migration, mobilities and adult education
