Przyglądam się krytycznie nauce, bo zależy mi, by jej praktyki były lepsze. Życzę sobie, naiwnie i utopijnie, by jej wytwory, niezaprzeczalnie obdarzone potencjałem emancypacyjnym, można było wykorzystywać do naprawiania świata, a przynajmniej jego kawałków.Feminizm rozumiany jako interwencje jest dobrą ilustracją zamiany pierwszoosobowego doświadczenia wykluczenia na działania, które służą poszerzaniu wolności innych, pomnażaniu wspólnego dobra. Jest doskonałym dowodem na to, że teoria filozoficzna może nie tylko usensawniać świat i współtworzyć kulturę, lecz także zmotywować do zmiany życia zbiorowego i panujących w nim praktyk.

The active participation of youth has indeed become a key theme across a broad range of service delivery. All organisations concerned with children and young people now promote participation as a “central issue” (Wright, Haydon, Morgan, 2002). Across the EU there is a need to increase educational attainment and active civic participation by European youth. FYS-Forums is responding to this by creating a model for school – led global citizenship youth forums. But even the most carefully planned project can run into unexpected issues. In my contribution a critical review of FYS-FORUM project will be presented.

In this chapter, the author introduces the concept of a project week where social work students study together with a diverse group of unemployed social work clients. This involves a learning approach as a formative research process, focusing on establishing and maintaining relationships and highlights communalities. The subject matter references a public forum organized by, “aqua muehle Vorarlberg”, during which students and service users present the results of their collective project week. The issues researched focus on unemployment, education, qualification, illnesses, discrimination and inclusion. A document analysis of learning journals together with records of feedback sessions and presentations of outcomes form the basis of this contribution. A series of new possibilities arise when groups form equally, leaving their “normalities” of familiar learning environments behind. The experiences are evaluated positively by the participants despite being described as exhausting, emotional and difficult. Role ambiguity contributes to a valuable experience of exchange.

This discussion focuses on participation as an approach to radicalising social work, drawing on the experience of the author and many others in the UK and beyond. It explores the modern history of participation in policy and ideology, highlighting the empirical evidence that many people seem to feel they have little say over their lives and institutions affecting them and regard this as problematic. It highlights inequalities in participation and explores different ideological approaches to participation; their strengths and weaknesses, the emergence of service user movements; the gains from involving service users in research and the methodological and practical issues of excluding and including people’s “experiential” or first hand knowledge as both practitioners and service users, the overlaps between the two groups, the importance of involving practitioners too and key issues emerging for participation.

This chapter sets out to examine the potential and the reality for the inclusion of service users in social work services, social work education, and social work research. It includes special reference to such work with the most vulnerable service users, for example certain people with mental health problems. The chapter will critically examine the theoretical framework, potential of, and reality for, the inclusion of service users in social work services, social work education, and social work research. The discussion will critically analyse the rationale, challenges and opportunities of involving service users and carers in such areas using ideas around the ethics of social work as set out in the International Federation of Social Worker’s (IFSW)/International Association of Schools of Social Work’s (IASSW) Ethical Codes (2012) and their Definition of Social Work (2014) and further analyzed against S. Arnstein’s “ladder of participation”. In examining how we can work towards the greatest level of participation in co-production, the chapter will use examples from projects carried out by the author.

Vážení čtenáři, vážené čtenářky, dostává se vám do rukou publikace zaměřená na genderové aspekty vzdělávání v České republice. Jejím hlavním cílem je upozornit na to, že vzdělávací systém není genderově neutrální, nabídnout reflexi stávající situace a představit příklady dobré praxe a doporučení co a jak zlepšit v budoucnosti. Tato publikace je určena především pro tvůrce politik a systémových nástrojů ve vzdělávání, ale i pro odbornou veřejnost z řad vedení škol, vyučujících, ale i novinářů a novinářek. Měla by přispět k otevření široké diskuze o kvalitě vzdělávacího systému v ČR z hlediska genderové rovnosti. V první části publikace se jednotlivé autorky zaměřují na klíčové oblasti vzdělávacího systému z hlediska genderu, které zmapovala Kristýna Ciprová. Irena Smetáčková se ve svém příspěvku soustřeďuje na kurikulární reformu a možnosti, které pro zmenšení existujících genderových nerovností může znamenat. Zároveň ale upozorňuje na značné limity, které zatím tomuto příznivému potenciálu brání v plném rozvoji, a navrhuje postupy, které by mohly pomoci stávající situaci zlepšit. Samostatnou úvahu si zasluhuje i téma genderové segregace ve školství. Její symbolické významy v rovině horizontální i vertikální reflektuje Tereza Kynčlová, která zároveň upozorňuje na nástrahy esencializmu a inverzi genderových stereotypů, jež můžou vést k jejich opětovnému upevňování. Zmiňujeme-li klíčové aspekty vzdělávacího systému z hlediska genderu, nelze bezpochyby vynechat téma sexuální výchovy. Stávající situaci v této oblasti a také možnosti a limity pro budoucí změny rozebírá ve své stati Lucie Jarkovská. Linda Sokačová představuje nový Odbor rovných příležitostí ve školství, který funguje na Ministerstvu školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy od července roku 2008. Jeho zřízení i dosavadní činnost se jeví jako krok správným směrem, nicméně jeho role v systému i budoucnost v případě změny na ministerském postu jsou zatím nejisté. Ve druhé části publikace se v jednotlivých příspěvcích dozvíte podrobnosti o několika projektech neziskových organizací, které lze označit za příklady dobré praxe v posunu směrem k genderovému zcitlivění a rovnosti příležitostí žen a mužů a dívek a chlapců ve vzdělávání. A jak tuto problematiku vnímají sami studující a vyučující poodhalí krátká anketa. Na závěr jsme připojili i vybrané statistické údaje, které současnou situaci v českém školství názorně ilustrují.

Vážené čtenářky, vážení čtenáři, držíte v rukou metodickou „kuchařku“ pro projektový den propojující téma kariérní výchovy a rovných příležitostí dívek a chlapců. Jejím cílem je pomoci rozšířit spektrum povolání a studijních oborů, o nichž dívky a chlapci uvažují. Rozšířit jej za hranice tradičních představ o tom, jaká povolání se hodí pro muže a jaká pro ženy. V základu této publikace totiž stojí myšlenka, že každý by měl mít možnosti uplatnit svůj talent a rozvíjet své sny bez ohledu na to, zda to zapadá do stereotypů o společenských rolích žen a mužů. Řada výzkumů z českého prostředí ohledně voleb oboru studia a povolání totiž ukazuje, že dívky a chlapci si svou budoucí dráhu nevolí ani tak na základě realistického zhodnocení svých schopností a dovedností, jako spíše na základě genderových stereotypů. Je tedy důležité nejen systematicky posilovat kariérní výchovu, ale také poukazovat na vliv genderových stereotypů. Lepší kariérní volby jsou totiž přínosem jak pro seberealizaci samotných dívek a chlapců, tak i pro zaměstnavatele, protože budou moci zaměstnávat lidi, kteří jsou pro danou práci opravdu kompetentní.

The publication concerns urban development and its factors. The author has attempted to identify the conditions of urban development from a dynamic perspective, on the basis of the towns of the Łódź Voivodeship (excluding Łódź) – since their foundation until 2011. The topic has been analysed in three categories: sociocultural, economic and administrative. Based on the results, the author created her own typology of urban development paths of the towns studied. The method of identifying and analysing urban development paths described in the book can be used as a research tool by other academic centres and may also inspire a relevant comparative study.

In order to gain a clear understanding of the social structure of the Yugoslav state, the origins of South Slav society and its subsequent evolution must be examined. Two points should be borne in mind: first, Yugoslav society is now and always has been predominantly rural; second, social relations are based primarily on ancient Slavic traditions as modified by the codes of the medieval kings.

Informirano, obrazovano i odgovorno donošenje odluka utemeljeno na kritičkom mišljenju je ideal i izazov s kojim se pojedinac i društvo kontinuirano susreću. Živimo doba tzv. liminalnih trenutaka, kada stara pravila prestaju da vrijede, a zajednice kojima ljudi pripadaju prestaju značiti ono što su nekada bile, vrijeme liminalnog prostora iz kojeg je izronila novomedijska zbilja upravljana vladajućom teorijom, tačnije uvjerenjem, da će tehnološka organizacija informacija stvoriti red iz haosa. Ako su tehnološke platforme imale za cilj organizirati svjetske informacije i učiniti ih univerzalno dostupnim i korisnim (Google), učiniti svijet otvorenijim i povezanijim (Facebook), zašto je sve onda toliko haotično? Ova dva navedena poslovna kreda, misije, poslovne filozofije, Googlea i Facebooka, direktno opisuju da je upravljanje diskursom društvene disrupcije, tačnije informacijskim neredom nastalim digitalnim stanjem (Stalder 2018) korporativna fantazma vrijednosti platformski posredovanog svijeta.

The starting point of this article is that it is difficult not to analyse the impact of the pandemic on society and collective thinking. Many people around the world are re-evaluating their approach to work, earning, the role of material security, and many other fundamental issues that give their lives meaning. The massive scale of the phenomenon made it possible to speak of a global social experiment, the subject of which is the working man, interpersonal relations in the workplace, organisational culture, not to mention the issue of productivity and the quality of work performed.This article analyses remote work during the pandemic. The most common form of this was, of course, working from home. This ‘homecoming’ caused by the pandemic makes researchers reflect on the impact of this on the private lives, careers, work relationships or job satisfaction of a huge number of people. The author also raises the question of emerging expectations and even claims on both sides of the employ- ment relationship after the pandemic. Relevant to this problem are the generational differences within society.An important social issue is that people of certain professions can work remotely: experts of a different kind, managers, teachers, journalists, artists. However, there are many employees who are responsible for activities which cannot be done remotely. We refer to this group as „essential workers”. It is thanks to them that, for example, public transport and commerce functioned during the pandemic. One of the moral lessons of this tragic period – as the article’s author points out – was that we saw how important their role was and how much they risked and sacrificed for the general public.

The proposition that science and morality are indispensable for the sustainability and prosperity of nations is an idea that finds broad support in academic and theological circles. The centrality of science to the advancement of our societies is self-evident, as the technological innovations that have arisen from scientific inquiry have enabled us to solve some of our most pressing challenges. However, the importance of morality is equally salient, as it provides a moral compass for our actions and decisions. In the absence of such ethical guidance, the fruits of scientific endeavor may result in unethical practices that ultimately cause harm to individuals and society as a whole. Thus, it is imperative that we continue to accord both science and morality the respect and attention they deserve, recognizing that they are fundamental to our pursuit of progress, prosperity, and sustainability.

Profesionalno novinarstvo predstavlja temelj informiranog društva i ima ključnu ulogu u razotkrivanju i razumijevanju društvenih problema. Njegova odgovornost prema javnosti ogleda se u osiguravanju objektivnih, provjerenih i relevantnih informacija, čime doprinosi kreiranju društvenog dijaloga i poticanju promjena. U Bosni i Hercegovini (u daljem tekstu: BiH), društvu koje se suočava sa specifičnim socio-ekonomskim i političkim izazovima, mediji imaju poseban zadatak: osvijetliti i problematizirati pitanja koja često ostaju zanemarena u javnom diskursu. Posebnu pažnju zaslužuju socijalne teme poput siromaštva, prava manjina, socijalne inkluzije i zaštite marginaliziranih grupa. Ovi problemi direktno utječu na svakodnevni život građana, ali nerijetko ostaju na marginama medijskog izvještavanja.

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of human life and the hypothetical ability to transfer human consciousness into machines prompts a profound reevaluation of human value and the foundations of our rights. This paper explores the philosophical implications of such technologies, questioning the criteria by which we ascribe value and rights to beings, whether embodied in flesh or silicon. It delves into the potential of merging human consciousness with advanced AI systems to create entities with both human and artificial capabilities, introducing a new category of being that challenges our traditional concepts of personhood, value, and rights. This inquiry is accentuated by the rapid pace of AI development and its increasingly sophisticated applications, leading to a discussion on the source of human value, the practical implications for the future of human rights, and the ethical considerations of creating societies of "superior virtual humans." The paper argues for a broad and inclusive understanding of personhood and rights that could extend to virtual humans, challenging traditional notions and inviting a future where rights are grounded in the qualities that constitute moral personhood beyond mere biological existence. It navigates through utilitarian, deontological, and virtue ethics perspectives, debates on mind-body dualism, and the scenario of virtual humans to illuminate the complexities of defining personhood and rights in a world where the boundaries between human and machine, mind and body, are increasingly blurred. The exploration is critical for ensuring that advancements in technology are matched by our ethical and philosophical understanding, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and the spectrum of the human condition in reimagining personhood, value, and rights in the age of AI.

Sosyoloji, sosyal psikoloji, eğitim ve siyaset gibi farklı disiplinlerin önemli terimlerinden biri olan sosyalleşme, en genel tanımıyla eğitim ve öğrenme süreci olarak kabul edilmektedir (Giddens, 2012, 201). Sosyalleşme sürecinde birey, içinde doğduğu ve yetiştiği topluma ve kültüre iştirak ederek o toplumun gelenek ve görenek, düşünce, inanç ve davranış kalıpları, norm, sembol ve yaşam biçimini isteyerek veya istemeyerek bir şekilde öğrenmekte ve buna uygun olarak davranış kalıpları geliştirmektedir (Güngör, 2012, 86). Jurgen Habermas, F. Eklin ve Talcott Parsons gibi önemli sosyologların da içinde olduğu birçok bilim insanı sosyalleşmeyi bireyin gelişme ve olgunlaşma süreçlerini kapsayan bir edinim süreci olarak tanımlamaktadır. Onlara göre sosyalleşme, bireyin yaşamı boyunca içinde bulunduğu grup ve toplumun düşüncelerini ve davranış kalıplarını benimseyerek o toplumun bir parçası haline gelmesidir (Karaman, 2021, 19-20).

Küreselleşme süreci, medeniyetler arası etkileşimlerin yoğunlaşması ve bu etkileşimlerin çok katmanlı bir yapıya bürünmesiyle, sosyolojik açıdan derin analizler gerektiren karmaşık bir olgu olarak değerlendirilmektedir (Meyer vd., 2015, 80). Küreselleşmenin hız kazanmasıyla birlikte, teknolojik gelişmelerin etkisiyle zaman ve mekân algısı büyük ölçüde değişmiş, dünya küçülmüş ve mesafeler giderek anlamını yitirmiştir. Bu bağlamda, herhangi bir coğrafyada meydana gelen olayların, yalnızca yerel bir boyutta kalmaktan çıkıp küresel bir etki alanı oluşturduğu görülmektedir (Çapcıoplu, 2008, 155; Güngör, 2022; Güngör-Tokur, 2018). Küreselleşme, medeniyetler arası ilişkileri yoğunlaştırarak dünyayı adeta “küresel bir köy” haline getirmiştir. Bu süreç, yalnızca devletler ve toplumlar arası sınırları aşmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda kültürel, sosyal ve özellikle ekonomik bağların küresel ölçekte bir bütün haline gelmesine neden olmuştur (Slattery, 2020, 417-418). Ekonomik süreçlerin ulusal sınırları aşarak dünya genelinde entegre hale gelmesi, ekonomik faaliyetlerin küresel bir ağ yapısında yürütülmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Örneğin Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında da görüldüğü gibi, küreselleşmenin ekonomik boyutu, bir ülkede meydana gelen olayların hızla tüm dünyayı etkileyebileceği bir yapı oluşturmuştur. Blair’in belirttiği gibi, küreselleşmeden kaçış neredeyse imkânsız hale gelirken, küresel ekonomik bağlantılar da bu tür krizlerin tüm dünyaya yayılmasına zemin hazırlamaktadır (Tooze, 2020, 34; Güngör, 2022).

Samiha Ayverdi Türk edebiyatının önemli isimlerinden biri olmasının yanı sıra, muhafazakâr düşünce ve tasavvufi bakış açısıyla Doğu ve Batı medeniyetlerini derinlemesine ele alan bir yazardır. Ayverdi’nin eserleri, özellikle Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun toplumsal yapısı ve Batı medeniyetinin sömürgeci karakteri üzerine yaptığı eleştirilerle dikkat çeker. Ayverdi, Doğu’yu sosyal adalet ve manevi değerler üzerine kurulu bir medeniyet olarak tanımlarken, Batı’yı materyalizm ve sömürgecilik üzerinden eleştirir (Uğurcan, 1998, s. 145).
