Academic Freedom and Early Career Researchers. World Café

WoC (Worlds of Contradiction)

12/02/2024 2:00 pm –4:00 pm

U Bremen GRA 2 0030

Moderation: Hagen Steinhauer, Jessica Nuske, Jendrik Nuske, Kevin Kuhlmann, Sarabjeet Kaur, Jonas Trochemowitz

What is the role of academic freedom in doctoral studies and scientific qualification? Is academic freedom under threat, and if so, what can we as doctoral students do to protect it?

We would like to discuss these and other questions in a World Café format and exchange experiences and perspectives. We primarily invite doctoral students, but also students considering a doctorate and members of other status groups. The workshop will be held in English with the possibility of clarification in German.

For question contact Jonas Trochemowitz trochemo@uni-bremen.de

earthing

“Geography as a discipline stands for a certain worlding, if not earthing, of contradiction, in both theoretical and pracitcal respect.”

Julia Lossau
coherence in thought

“The imperative of non-contradiction generally produces a coherence in thought that is often at odds with social complexities.”

Yan Suarsana
problem to be solved

“Contradiction is not primarily a problem to be solved but a motor we cannot do without.”

Martin Nonhoff
city

“The city is a laboratory not only of modernity, but also of contradiction.”

Julia Lossau
articulate

“Contradictions need to be articulated in order to exist.”
