Academic Freedom and Early Career Researchers. World Café

WoC (Worlds of Contradiction)

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

limits

“Resistance is a democratic right, sometimes a duty. With literature we can find models for this right and think about its limits.”

Gisela Febel
name contradiction

“Contradiction becomes real where someone names contradiction.”

Ingo H. Warnke
hierarchy of norms

“If social contradictions are reflected in law, law cannot form a hierarchy of norms free of contradictions.”

Andreas Fischer-Lescano
prison of difference

“‘Contradiction is the prison of difference‘ writes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Worlds of Contradiction asks: how can we explain and describe the world without making it more coherent and systematic than it is?”

Michi Knecht
coherence in thought

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