Inhaltliches
This is a joint class that will be taught by faculty from Leuphana and the University of Missouri, St. Louis (MI/USA). Students from St. Louis will join us in class and visit us in person in June. Leuphana attendees who are interested to visit the United States can apply for an escorted exchange format to St. Louis/Chicago that will take place during the winter term of 2026/2027.
The class will focus on processes of bordering, migration, and its relations to social work theory and practice. We will look at four dimensions of boundary work to better understand these relations.
First, we will talk about national boundaries and how nation states and the global Southern border affect migration procedures worldwide, but in particular in the U.S. and Germany. For the incoming students from the U.S., this reflection will be combined with an autoethnographic exercise on crossing the border between Germany and the U.S. A corresponding exercise will be required for Leuphana students.
In a second part of our class, we will talk about identity boundaries (based on differences and diversities of class, age, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, dis/ability, and religion/worldview).
Thirdly, we will focus on professional boundaries, particularly in social work. We will now talk about how professional agendas can sometimes be different from what clients want, and how that can lead to contradictions and power struggles.
In the last part of the class, we will talk about organizational boundaries. This means we will discuss how the goals of an organization, legal rules, and money affect the way people are limited to being "clients."
Another important part of our work in class will be site visits. To connect our thoughts and self-awareness exercises with practices and discourses of social work in Hamburg and Lüneburg, we will visit social work institutions there.
