- Abstract
A 4th semester seminar for students of the B.A. in Social Work at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt am Main focuses on issues of social inequalities and experiences of discrimination. In the initial block week of this seminar, the students are introduced to qualitative-interpretive research and they learn about doing autobiographical narrative interviews. In our paper, we explain why we consider this as essential knowledge and practice for social work students and we also go into some other aspects of teaching and learning in this class. We discuss a particular question that frequently comes up among the students, namely how to approach a person for a life story interview whom they suppose to have experienced discrimination without directly asking about his or her discrimination experiences. As we try to explain, it is important not to label a person's experience but instead to allow for the subjective expression of whether and in which ways discrimination was experienced and encountered.
