Association for Socioeconomic Education and Research (ASEER)

​
The aim of the Association for Socioeconomic Education and Research is to facilitate the scientifically and didactical exchange on inter- and transdisciplinary as well as pluralistic and problem-oriented education and research in the field of socio-economics.

Socioeconomic Education and Science is based on a multi-paradigmatic Social Science which refers and integrates the results of Economics, Sociology and Political Science in research, teaching and education. The Society of Socioeconomics is committed to problem-oriented, interdisciplinary and plural approaches in dealing with social, economic and political problems. It enables the professional exchange on how economic issues in their social, ecological, political, historical and cultural contexts can be analyzed and reflected, taught and learned.

Institut for Socio-Economics

​
The Institute for Socio-Economics is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The institute was founded in May 2017. Since then, three more professorships have been established in addition to an existing professorship, with a fifth coming soon.

The Institute is committed to analyzing economic issues from an interdisciplinary and pluralistic perspective at the intersection of economics and other social sciences. In addition to contributions to the existing study programs of the faculty, the institute will launch a new master’s program in socioeconomics in October 2019.
