INCHER Brown-bag-lunch: Academic misfits/misfits in academia?! - A brief research overview.

Dr. Christian Johann Schmid (INCHER, University of Kassel):

They also exist in academia: outsiders, marginalized, border crossers, anti-heroes, heterodox, heretics, dissidents, strangers, eccentrics, etc. We are talking about "social figures of deviance" as pointedly summarized by "Academic Misfits/Misfits in Academia." It is precisely such maladjusted and/or maladaptive academics and their (deviant) careers in academia that this talk will be about. For other areas of society, deviants have already been well identified in their diverse social manifestations, functions and consequences. In the self-observation or self-thematization of the university and science system, they are largely ignored in research, merely anecdotally addressed, or supposedly even tabooed.
