Topics that are dealt with in this subject are e.g. B. current phenomena in the field of education such as attachment parenting , helicopter parents , the rise of educational “experts”, the intensification of upbringing, the politicization of the parent-child relationship and the politicization and moralization of child care and upbringing practices . A significant player in many discourses of the department is currently that of Frank Furedi so called parent-determinism (Engl. Parental determinism ), which is the widespread conviction that social problems are caused by deficient parental home education.
