Stellungnahme des WZB

Das WZB beobachtet mit großer Sorge die jüngsten Entwicklungen an den Hochschulen in der Türkei. Schon die staatlichen Repressalien gegen die Unterzeichner der Petition „Academics for Peace“ in den letzten Monaten haben ein Klima der Einschüchterung erzeugt. Die massenhafte Entlassung von Hochschul-Dekanen und Hochschulrektoren sowie die Suspendierung von Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen in wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen nach dem Putschversuch sind ein weiterer Schlag gegen die Freiheit von Forschung und Lehre.

Description

Recently, new approaches to research on philanthropy have deepened our understanding of giving behavior. Those new developments include the ascent of field experiments and growth of lab experiments on fundraising where charities are perceived as active parties. Others include the influence of behavioral economics on our understanding of how social interactions affect donations. The channels through which people donate have recently changed as well. For example, the role of online activities like donation-based crowdfunding is increasing.

Fellowship for Tine Hanrieder

Tine Hanrieder, Research Fellow of the WZB’s Global Governance research unit, has been awarded with a Freigeist (Free Spirit) Fellowship of the Volkswagen Foundation for her innovative research on Global Health. Her research project “Medical Internationalisms and the Making of Global Public Health (Dr.GLOBAL)” explores the transnational contest for expert authority in the field of global health through a study of French, US, and Cuban health missions in Haiti – a country which has become a paradigmatic laboratory of foreign health intervention.

Abstract

Laura Menze’s dissertation explores the labour market entry of graduates of apprenticeship training in Germany. While their vocational certificates are formally considered to be of equal value, the labour market opportunities differ substantially within this group. In her dissertation, Laura Menze asks how structural characteristics of the training occupation impact such differences. The dissertation, thus, contributes to the literature on how individual employment trajectories are structured by occupational characteristics.

In a first step, the project analyses the impact of characteristics of training occupations on the labour market opportunities directly after graduating from apprenticeship training.

The European Football Championship is over, the Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro have begun. While public attention focuses on pompous opening ceremonies and arduous anti-doping campaigns, the use of statistical data in contemporary professional sports has been much less in the spotlight. Yet statistics can transform the sporting world as WZB Visiting Researcher Matthias Kranke and his colleague David Yarrow (both University of Warwick) argue.
