Recognition Counselling.

Transcript is one of the leading scientific publishers in the German-speaking world with a high level of awareness in the Educational studies and Pedagogy. The decision in favor of Transcript is based not only on the high quality of its publishing activities, but also on the disciplinary approach and the topic of my dissertation. Its main focus is on counselling research in the field of adult education. The study analyses a newly emerging field of counselling, which has so far hardly been researched from a counselling-theoretical perspective. At the same time, the interdisciplinary research approach put this work in direct dialogue with related disciplines such as sociology, social work and migration research. Hence, my dissertation can be optimally located in the publishing program, which focuses on innovative developments and also includes numerous publications from different disciplines on the topic of migration. With the "ZfK - Zeitschrift für Kulturwissenschaften", Transcript also offers a medium for current discussions on the concept of culture. One focus of Transcript is in the social sciences including the field of pedagogy. The publication of my dissertation is planned in this program area in the series with the same title. Here, publications from the fields of adult education in Austria and Germany as well as migration research relevant for my dissertation have already been published. It is worth noting that Ilka Sommer`s publication about the fight for the recognition of foreign professional qualifications in Germany was published in the Transcript series "Society of Differences", prominently featured in the current debate on the recognition of qualifications acquired abroad. As a result, the publication of my dissertation offers opportunities to enrich current research debates in this area. Transcript has a widespread international network and many years of experience in marketing and sales and aims to address not only academic readers but also a socially- curious public. In my experience Transcript hat proven itself better than other publishers in terms of communication and cooperation and fulfils all the necessary conditions for funding at the FWF.
