Description
The seminar series aims to make researchers aware not only of their individual obligations and roles within academic institutions, but also of the broader context of the research environment in which they are trying to build a career. Young researchers are almost inevitably confronted with questions and considerations that their early engagements with science did not prepare them for. This includes individual episodes of malpractice but also interpersonal challenges and societal responses to scientific work. It is important to situate and contextualize these cases within a broader context of academic practice and the position of local research institutions and universities in an increasingly global, productivity-driven and competitive environment.The seminars organised in this course introduce participants to these broader issues present in contemporary academic life, inform them about the structural causes of the challenges they face as young researchers, and help them reflect on ways in which they themselves can contribute to improving the current state of academia.
This third seminar day evolved around the topic "What University Can We Imagine?" with a morning workshop on Creative Research Methods and an afternoon workshop on Academic Utopias.
