On 11 and 12 November 2022, the conference of the Zentrum für Sozialweltforschung und Methodenentwicklung (ZSM) in Magdeburg will take place. Against the background of this year's conference theme - "Ideal images of research and scientific careers under discussion" - by addressing the ideal images of research and scientific careers, two strands are considered that are interwoven with being a scientist: "ideal research" and "ideal science careers". With increasing experience in the scientific working world, ideal images can become fragile and thwarted, but their power as normative remains unbroken. The conference is intended to open up the possibility of reflecting on ideal images of research and scientific careers and, in particular, of addressing the (hidden) potential of deviating. For more information plase see the Call For Papers Abstracts can be submitted until the 22nd of July.
