RESEARCHERS’ (IM)MOBILITIES, COLLABORATIVE PRACTICES, AND THE CHANGING KNOWLEDGE GEOGRAPHIES IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES. Vortrag auf der Konferenz Mobilities in Higher Education. SRHE International Conference 2022, Society for Research into Higher Education, United Kingdom.
Abstract

This qualitative study addresses how mobile researchers shape and reshape their collaboraive practices through particular global and local, visible and invisible collaborative practices, thus altering the knowledge geographies in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). The paper is based on the findings the doctoral research project that studies the meaning and practices of academic collaboration in German Clusters of Excellence belonging to the SSH.

Kollaboration als operative Politik zur Durchsetzung von Exzellenz: der Fall Exzellenzcluster. Vortrag auf der Tagung Exzellenzträume der Wissenschaft.

Abstract

If excellence “as an integrating principle […] has the singular advantage of being entirely meaningless” (Readings, 1996, p. 22), why do policy discourses keep regarding excellence as the “gold standard”? I argue that collaboration has emerged as an imperative in modern science policy and practice. Thus, how does collaboration underpin both operatively and conceptually the expansion of excellence agendas, such as the Excellence Initiative/Strategy? I shall argue that collaboration it is through a relational and porous understanding of place and space that is it is possible to delve into the ways how collaborations are enacted
