Online conference
With the theme “Knowledge creates change - ideas, processes and theories from research”, the Graduate Conference is focusing on a deliberately broad title and is looking forward to receiving a wide range of submissions for the two-day online event.
Among other things, the conference will address the question of how young researchers can achieve positive change for society, the economy, culture and/or science with their projects in a constantly and ever faster changing world.
Please feel free to send us your contribution proposals regardless of your doctoral status.
Information on the Call for Papers for this year's DocColloq Doctoral Conference as well as information on submitting abstracts can also be found online at https://www.uni-trier.de/index.php?id=68047.
Abstracts can be submitted via Indico until 21.07.2024.
Feedback on the acceptance of contributions will then be provided by 15.09.2024.
New offer from the pilot project Motherhood and Science: Systemic counseling
-
Are you a mother and a student and feel torn between the two roles?
Are you a mother and a student and feel torn between the two roles?
Are you thinking about a career in science and considering whether you want to have or are allowed to have children?
Do studying with child(ren) always present you with challenges?
Being a parent and a scientist has intensified your conflicts and created new ones?
As part of the pilot project Motherhood and Science (FEM POWER Vision), I offer systemic counseling as a space to look at where conflicts arise again and again in everyday life and where there is a lack of time and focus for clarification.
Systemic counseling is:
- an effective method for tackling problems and challenges in different areas of life, strengthening relationships and developing new perspectives
- individual counseling and support
- for students, employees and academics
- Individual and couples counseling
- Free of charge
Counseling sessions can take place both online and in person.
About me:
I am Dr. Sarah Czerney, media and cultural scientist, systemic consultant (in further education, DGSF) and co-founder of the nationwide network Motherhood and Science. At KGC, I coordinate the pilot project Motherhood and Science in the FEM POWER Vision project. As part of this project, I offer systemic counseling to support mothers and people dealing with motherhood in science.
I look forward to hearing from you!
