“…Whilst the #IchBinHanna & #IchBinReyhan movement has by far been the most impactful so far, it came after a succession of similar social media movements characterised by different hashtags, some of which were initiated by the same actors as #IchBinHanna (Bahr et al, 2020). These movements include #FristIsFrust, which was initiated on Twitter in early 2019 and brought to light the frustrations of workingon strings of temporary contracts in German academia (Netzwerk für Gute Arbeit in der Wissenschaft, 2019), and #95vsWissZeitVG, an initiative that compiled 95 theses against the WissZeitVG following Luther's 95 Theses and was launched on Twitter in November 2020 (Bahr et al, 2020). The hashtag #ACertainDegreeOfFlexibility began to be used shortly after #95vsWissZeitVG in early 2021, providing sarcastic takes on the flexibility of employment conditions and place of work that are expected of early career researchers (Leinfellner et al, 2023).…”

“…To compare the #IchBinHanna & #IchBinReyhan movement to similar Twitter-based movements concerned with the working conditions of academics in Germany, we also collected tweets for the hashtags #95vsWissZeitVG (Bahr et al, 2020), #FristIstFrust (Netzwerk für Gute Arbeit in der Wissenschaft, 2019), #ACertainDegreeOfFlexibility (Leinfellner et al, 2023), and #DauerstellenFürDaueraufgaben (as well as common variants) between 1 January 2019 and 4 February 2023.…”

Outraged by the release of a ministerial video, in which short-term employment contracts inGerman academia were lauded through the embodiment of fictitious doctoral researcherHanna, thousands of researchers rallied behind the hashtag #IchBinHanna to vent theirfrustrations about precarious academic employment in Germany. We explore the discourseof over 45,000 tweets featuring the hashtags #IchBinHanna and/or #IchBinReyhan from theoutset of the movement in June 2021 to March 2023. We use a mixed-methods approach,combining machine-learning, corpus-linguistics, and qualitative methods to gain a deepunderstanding of collective and individual struggles. Comparing the movement to similar,preceding ones, we find that #IchBinHanna and #IchBinReyhan reached a substantiallylarger and broader audience. We show how the movement exhibits remarkable tenacity,re-igniting multiple times, and influencing offline events such as parliamentary debates andamendments to labour laws. In addition to describing the topics discussed in both Germanand English-language tweets, we also detail when issues were raised, and by which groupsof actors. Our analysis exemplifies the potency of social media platforms for fosteringtransformation, demonstrating how hashtag activism can sustain widespread interest both onand beyond social media and exert substantial influence on policy-making processes.

Das ‚Damoklesschwert‘ der Evaluation – Heteronomiepotenziale von Juniorprofessuren mit Tenure Track

Gutjahr

2023

Debatte

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mit der Einführung der Juniorprofessur 2002 wurde beabsichtigt, den Stelleninhaber*innen früher als bisher eine größere Eigenständigkeit auf dem Karriereweg zur Professur zu gewähren. In ihrem Statement in der Zeitschrift Debatte kritisiert Lara Altenstädter (2021), dass die Juniorprofessur faktisch hinter diesem Versprechen zurückbleibt und es sich bei der vermeintlich gewonnenen Autonomie lediglich um eine Illusion bzw. Verschleierung der Zustände handele. Im Anschluss daran wird anhand einer qualitativen Analyse der Autonomie- und Heteronomiepotenziale von Juniorprofessor*innen mit Tenure Track in dieser Replik gezeigt, dass insbesondere diejenigen Stelleninhaber*innen von Juniorprofessuren, die über einen Tenure Track verfügen, in ihrer faktischen Autonomie eingeschränkt sind. Sie stehen unter einem enormen Anpassungsdruck an die durch ihre Tenure-Track-Kriterien an sie gerichteten Anforderungen, deren Erfüllung unumgänglich ist, wenn der Übergang auf die in Aussicht gestellte Lebenszeitprofessur gelingen soll.
