Prekäre Wissenschaftskarrieren und die Illusion der Chancengleichheit

Social inequalities in postdoctoral dropout from academia by gender, parental academic background, and migration background, and their intersections

“…However, there are some descriptive findings that point in the direction of intersectional inequalities. First, gender and social origin seem to be intertwined insofar as female professors come on average from a higher social class than male professors (Möller 2017(Möller , 2018. Second, social origin and migration background seem to be intertwined insofar as scientists with a migration background more often come from a higher social class than scientists without a migration background, which holds in particular for professors (Löther 2012;Möller 2017Möller , 2018.…”

Gleichstellungspolitik an Hochschulen

“…Der Bias besteht aber auch im Hinblick auf anderen Dimensionen sozialer Ungleichheit, wie z.B. Zugehörigkeit zu bestimmten Milieus, nationale Herkunft und Hautfarbe (Gutiérrez Rodríguez 2018;Möller 2018;Norkus 2018). Denn schließlich bedarf es, um in der Wissenschaft zu reüssieren, v.a.…”

Open House? Class-Specific Career Opportunities within German Universities

“…Thus, changes in higher education policy and the changing conditions for scientific careers also have an impact on closure processes and mechanisms. It is striking that the observed social closure correlates in time with the neoliberal trans-formation of the university and science system (Münch, 2014), and the increased uncertainty of scientific careers (Laufenberg, 2016;Möller, 2018). Already during Weber's lifetime, scientific careers were regarded as a hazard (Weber, 1997).…”
