The world has never been richer than today. The distribution of our global wealth, however, is hugely biased. Since 1980, the gains havemainly been accumulated by the rich: The top 1% obtained twice as much of the income growth compared to the bottom 50%. Nevertheless, within economics, debates about inequality have remained rather marginal, despite long-term research by renowned scholars such as Tony Atkinson. Within the public arena, concerns about inequality emerged as a result of a number of developments: First, the global financial crisis in 2008 exposed the risks of the financing of the economy; secondly, in 2013, Thomas Picketty's book "Capital in the 21st century" demonstrated that, against the trend of the overall 20th century, capital returns outstrip the gains through economic growth in recent decades, thus threatening social coherence and democratic institutions; and thirdly, the Millennium Campaign presented impressive achievements regarding poverty but stirred doubts as to whether the most deprived were left even further behind. Since 2015, the stated aim of SDG 10 is to "reduce inequality within and among countries". There is growing consensus that economic growth is not sufficient to reduce poverty, and that our efforts to make it more inclusive have so far been insufficient. The first step in reducing inequality is to adopt a systemic perspective, allow for an integrative analysis covering both ends of the ladder. Policies should be universal in principle and pay attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations. Predicated on comparison, inequality reminds us that it's not enough to study lower earners and the poor. Instead, the term demands that we expand our perspective, scrutinizing how economic value is generated, accumulated, at whose cost, and, last but not least, how the overall system could be made fairer. "Transitioning to Reduced Inequalities", therefore, explores inequality trends worldwide, offers a debate on different measures and comparative perspectives, highlights key actors who either benefited or suffered from recent economic trends, and explores policy options to reduce inequality and thus contribute to SDG 10. The volume considers particularly: conceptual frameworks with regards to the inequality debate; the relationship between poverty reduction, economic growth and inequality; measures of inequality; overlooked/bypassed groups in developing countries; analysis on income/wealth growth for different groups in the global north; discussion about policies to reduce inequality; and further research in the realm of inequality. Transitioning to Reduced Inequalities is part of MDPI's new Open Access book series Transitioning to Sustainability. With this series, MDPI pursues environmentally and socially relevant research which contributes to efforts toward a sustainable world. Transitioning to Sustainability aims to add to the conversation about regional and global sustainable development according to the 17 SDGs. The book series is intended to reach beyond disciplinary, even academic boundaries.

Theorie, Methode und Gegenstand sind in der qualitativen Bildungs- und Biographieforschung eng miteinander verflochten. Die Beiträge fragen nach der Gegenstandsangemessenheit von Theorien, nach der Beziehung zwischen Bildungstheorie und qualitativer Empirie sowie nach den Implikationen der Methodenwahl für gegenstandsbezogene Theorien. Der Band dokumentiert den Stand der fachwissenschaftlichen Diskussion zu diesen Fragen in der Erziehungswissenschaft. Theory, method and object are closely intertwined in qualitative educational and biographical research. The contributions ask about the appropriateness of theories to the subject, about the relationship between educational theory and qualitative empiricism, and about the implications of the choice of methods for subject-related theories. The volume documents the state of the scientific discussion on these questions in educational science.

There has been an increasing interest in research ethics over the last decade given the increasing ethical regulation of social research. 'Ethical literacy' encourages researchers to understand and engage with the ethical issues that emerge in the process of research. This book provides a short, succinct and accessible overview of the field, highlighting the key issues and everyday ethical dilemmas that researchers are likely to face in different contexts. Covering a range of methods, the book provides clear guidance for researchers on how to identify an approach that fits with their moral and

"This book makes clear the procedures and practices surrounding qualitative interviewing. Qualitative interviews are a critical part of qualitative research, but understandings of what it means to carry out interviews have shifted over time. This book provides the latest studies and practical guidance on how to cater for a broad range of research. It shows researchers and students how to begin with key questions and theories and the best interviewing tactic to take. What is Qualitative Interviewing? addresses the changes brought by new technologies as well as enduring issues such as asking and listening, the implications of power dynamics, and the broader social relations for research and interviewer-interviewee relations."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
