Yesterday, ASH Berlin awarded the C.W. Müller Prize, endowed with 2,000 euros, for outstanding Master's theses for the first time. The prize was awarded to Tamara B. Liencura Carrimán, a graduate of the Master's degree program in Social Work - Critical Diversity and Community Studies (KriDiCo). In her study project entitled "Taiñ trekan mew nieyiñ fentren kimvn. Our paths are full of knowledge", she, together with members of the Mapuche community, subjected colonial archives in Germany to a racism-critical revision.
Since Tamara B. Liencura Carrimán was unable to be there in person yesterday, her project partner Clo Catalan accepted the award on her behalf.
Dean Prof. Dr. Heinz Stapf-Finé gave the laudatory speech and presented the prize. The founder of the prize, Dr. Christiane Müller-Wichmann, also attended the award ceremony and warmly congratulated the prizewinner and her project partner.
The C.W. Müller Prize has been awarded at Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin since 2024 and honors projects that combine theory and practice in a creative way and pay particular attention to an entertaining presentation.
C. W. Müller, Professor of Social Pedagogy, who died in April 2021, was closely associated with the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin for many years. As a lecturer in the Master's program in Practice Research in Social Work and Education and as an inspiring speaker, he influenced numerous generations of students and colleagues. The C.W. Müller Prize honors his memory in a special way and continues his commitment to practice-oriented teaching.
The award ceremony was embedded in the 1st Faculty Day of the Department of Social Work.
