Soziale Passagen: Journal für Theorie und Empirie Sozialer Arbeit ("Social Passages: Journal for Empirical and Theoretical Studies of Social Work") is a scientific journal for discipline- and profession-related discourses on questions of readjustments in social pedagogy. The journal promotes inter- and transdisciplinary debates and represents the breadth of social pedagogical theory and empirical research. It is aimed at teachers and students of universities, colleges and research institutes as well as research-oriented managers and specialists in the practice of social work. Soziale Passagen stands for a clearly outlined empirical foundation and the "discovery" of universities, research projects and research institutes as places of practice. The journal is an interactive, scientific project that addresses the challenges provoked by social changes. It offers a discursive space for empirically based and theoretically elaborated reflections. It provides continuous information on current results of high-quality research. Soziale Passagen aims to intensify internal specialist discourses. Soziale Passagen contains a topical section in each issue and a forum for individual contributions. A further focus is on short reports from ongoing research projects. The quality of the content is assured by a double-blind peer review. Submissions can be sent directly to the editorial office by e-mail.
