From now on, the German Youth Institute (DJI) will be publishing analyses and interviews in English on the blogging platform tumblr. The social science research institute will be posting a collection of the best articles from its research magazine, DJI Impulse, on http://dji-international.tumblr.com. At present, the focus is on the subject of “Political Violence in Adolescence”. The site features a number of texts from scientists analysing the latest results of research into Islamist radicalisation and drawing comparisons with findings from right-wing extremism.
By launching the new social media site, the DJI, one of the largest social science institutes for research and development in Germany, is specifically aiming to stimulate interest among young foreign readers and underline the international orientation of the institute. Posts will be grouped together by theme on a regular basis, with scientists providing an insight into the key areas of research – the family, youth, childhood, migration, education and vocational training. Among the topics currently being featured are political violence in adolescence and the problems faced by young refugees in Germany. The site on the blogging platform tumblr supersedes the previous English print edition of DJI Impulse.
The research magazine DJI Impulse
The DJI’s free research magazine, which is published on a quarterly basis and has a circulation of 13,000, is aimed at an interdisciplinary readership including representatives from politics, field practice, the academic world and the media. Every issue of DJI Impulse is dedicated to a specific central theme and contains topical short reports and articles from the various fields of research – based on scientific findings and written in clear and comprehensible language.
Researchers from the institute along with distinguished colleagues from other academic bodies provide input about current research findings. This allows readers to gain a first-hand insight into the issues being addressed by social scientists and the challenges involved, in particular with respect to the family, youth, childhood, migration and education.
Anyone wishing to order or subscribe to the free print edition of DJI Impulse can do so by emailing impulse@dji.de.
