  1. Epistemic Living Spaces, International Mobility, and Local Variation in Scientific Practice.Sarah R. Davies - 2020 - Minerva 58 (1):97-114.
    This article explores local variations in scientific practice through the lens of scientists’ international mobility. Its aim is twofold: to explore how the notion of epistemic living spaces may be mobilised as a tool for systematically exploring differences in scientific practice across locations, and to contribute to literature on scientific mobility. Using material from an interview study with scientists with experience of international mobility, and epistemic living spaces as an analytical frame, the paper describes a set of aspects of life (...)

  • Global Status, Intra-Institutional Stratification and Organizational Segmentation: A Time-Dynamic Tobit Analysis of ARWU Position Among U.S. Universities.Brendan Cantwell & Barrett J. Taylor - 2013 - Minerva 51 (2):195-223.
    Ranking systems such as The Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings and Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Academic Rankings of World Universities simultaneously mark global status and stimulate global academic competition. As international ranking systems have become more prominent, researchers have begun to examine whether global rankings are creating increased inequality within and between universities. Using a panel Tobit regression analysis, this study assesses the extent to which markers of inter-institutional stratification and organizational segmentation predict global status among US research universities (...)

  • Introduction.Yamina Bettahar - 2019 - Philosophia Scientiae 23:5-9.
    Les circulations scientifiques internationales ont connu un développement important, en même temps que la communauté savante, depuis la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, et exponentiel au cours des dernières décennies. Pourtant, cette question, contrairement à celle des étudiants internationaux, n’a pas encore suscité beaucoup de travaux en sciences humaines et sociales. Ce mouvement de grande ampleur, qui n’épargne plus aucune région du globe, est volontiers observé et commenté, parfois à grand renf...

  • International Mobility and Social Capital in the Academic Field.Harald Bauder - 2020 - Minerva 58 (3):367-387.
    The relationship between the international mobility of academic researchers and social capital is complex. On the one hand, the literature suggests that social capital facilitates the international mobility of academics which, in turn, promotes the accumulation of international social capital, enhances research productivity, and advances careers. On the other hand, international mobility can isolate researchers from the national social capital in their origin countries. In this paper, I present the results of 42 interviews in Canada and Germany to examine how (...)

  • What Being a postdoc Entails: Postdoctoral Pathways in Switzerland in around 2010.Pierre Bataille & Marie Sautier - 2019 - Philosophia Scientiae 23:35-66.
    La multiplication des contrats à durée déterminée constitue une caractéristique importante des marchés académiques contemporains. Ce phénomène de précarisation, observable dans plusieurs contextes disciplinaires et nationaux, se manifeste notamment par l’augmentation marquée, depuis les années 1990, du nombre d’emplois postdoctoraux, proportionnellement au nombre de postes stabilisés. Parallèlement, les chercheur⋅e⋅s en début de carrière sont largement confronté⋅e⋅s à des discours institutionnels faisant la promotion des mobilités académiques et des collaborations internationales. L’abondance des discours autour de la mobilité des jeunes chercheur⋅e⋅s tend (...)
