Jahr des Open Content
Der Senior_Editor hat bereits darauf verwiesen: Nachdem das "Jahr der Geisteswissenschaften" recht sang- und klanglos zu Ende gegangen ist, befinden wir uns nun im Jahr des Open Content. Irgendwelche Revolutionen hinsichtlich des Respekts und des Nutzens von Open Access und Content dürften ebenso wenig zu erwarten sein, wie für die Geisteswissenschaften. Vielleicht gibt es bald ein paar Graduiertenkollegs zu diesem Thema.
Some Facts about Life in Academia
To be honest, I feel guilty almost everyday, when I give in to the social imperative to compare myself, respectively my "career" in academia with others. The message is so clear: I am too old, don't have enough experience in many fields, my topics of research are not hip or politically relevant enough, and I definitely studied too many disciplines. My collegues, on the other hand, seem to be much younger, much more advanced, do interesting variations on currently well-funded topics, are self-confident and determined - while I use to go with the flow of ideas, opportunities, and well-being.
