Mobile transitions - mobile lifestyles? Career choice and way of living at the transition to transnational scientific careers in the European Union

这项研究是关于欧盟向早期跨国科学事业的过渡。在定性方法的帮助下，我们采访了在德国大学完成学业后，在选定的欧盟国家（荷兰和法国）作为科学家活跃的人文学科毕业生。在多大程度上，与他们的职业以及他们的私人生活方式相关的问题在他们向其他欧盟成员国的科学工作过渡以及他们处理相关需求的方式方面发挥了作用？这项研究的目的是获得教育和职业生涯过渡的扩展视图，除了在每种情况下的专业方向，还考虑到实践的生活方式或对未来的预期生活方式（包括伙伴关系，家庭或其他生活方式）。为了涵盖传记性获得的知识以及已经在过渡时期的谈判和社会包容，本研究结合了个人访谈和夫妻访谈。基于对三年前毕业的流动大学毕业生的叙述性访谈，该研究询问了他们的传记性取向、申请时期以及流动决定。这一步调查的兴趣在于他们如何应对过渡传记，以及他们实践和预期的生活方式。从那些已经单独面试的样本中选择第二步，夫妇面试，将进行。这些活动将与流动大学毕业生及其各自的合作伙伴一起进行。一方面，这些访谈将有助于调查他们的谈判过程，以及他们对职业流动性的潜在分歧看法，以及由此产生的夫妻生活方式。另一方面，兴趣集中在跨国工作的方式和实践的生活方式是如何基于共享共同的知识储备。对于数据评估，将采用文献法。认识论的兴趣在于，从私人生活方式延伸的角度来看，哪种知识在分析职业传记的过渡中被证明是相关的。一方面，问题是女性和男性如何根据各自的生活方式来应对移动转型的需求。另一方面，值得一问的是，科学事业的欧洲化在多大程度上创造了私人生活领域的跨国生活方式。

The study is on the transition to early transnational scientific careers in the European Union. By help of qualitative methods, humanities graduates are interviewed who, after having completed their studies at German universities, are active as scientists in selected countries of the European Union (The Netherlands and France). In how far do issues connected to their professions but also to their private ways of living play a role for their transition to scientific work in other EU-member states and for their way of dealing with thus-connected demands? The study is meant to gain an extended view of transitions in educational and professional biographies, apart from professional orientation in each case also considering the practiced lifestyles or the ways of living anticipated for the future (including partnership, family or alternative ways of living). In order of covering biographically acquired knowledge as well as negotiations and social inclusion already during the period of transition, the study combines individual interviews and couple interviews. Based on narrative interviews with mobile university graduates having graduated up to three years ago, the study asks about biographically acquired orientations, periods of application as well as mobility decisions. The interest of this step of the inquiry is in their coping with the transition biography as well as in their practiced and anticipated ways of living. From the sample of those having already been individually interviewed a selection for the second step, the couple interviews, will be made. These will be conducted with mobile university graduates and their respective partners. On the one hand these interviews will serve for investigating their negotiation processes and their potentially divergent views on professional mobility and the thus-connected ways of living as couples. On the other hand, the interest focuses on how ways of working transnationally and the practiced lifestyle are based on sharing common stocks of knowledge. For data evaluation, the documentary method will be applied. The epistemic interest is in which kinds of knowledge prove to be relevant in the analysis of transitions in professional biographies from a point of view which is extended by the private way of living. On the one hand, the question is how women and men, in relation to their respective ways of living, cope with the demands of mobile transitions. On the other hand, it is worth asking in how far the Europeanisation of scientific careers creates ways of transnational living in the private life domain.
