• Subject Area: Educational Research on Socialization, Welfare and Professionalism
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 549839646

Based on a biographical research perspective, this longitudinal project examines how children and adolescents develop senses of (in)justice across different institutional and informal social contexts as they grow up. The study asks how different experiences of (in)justice and recognition contribute to the development of senses of (in)justice reflecting different constellations of participation and belonging. The study is particularly interested in relations of continuity and transformation to be identified in ‘justice biographies’.
