The article concentrates on the most essential elements of a social science as research, whereby research is strictly interpreted as the verification of a theory in a particular field but neither as "theorie sans terrain" nor "terrain sans theorie". Yet even if this particular employment in the field of social science is explicitly conceived of as privileging the logic of discovery and the strictures of proof in opposite to all preconstructed themes, theories and traditions of different disciplines, it cannot simply be reduced to the standpoint of pure logic. Engagement for social science as reflexive research means to further its practical, political acceptance by using the results obtained from research, means fighting for her autonomisation in terms of contributing to the creation of appropriate forms of sociability for its activities and reception (such as the formation of a reading public, discussion forums, effective tools with which to combat social barriers to the attainment of knowledge, etc.). ; The article concentrates on the most essential elements of a social science as research, whereby research is strictly interpreted as the verification of a theory in a particular field but neither as "theorie sans terrain" nor "terrain sans theorie".

Stellenausschreibung der Universität Bremen. Deadline: 2. Januar 2024

Im Folgenden werden Thesen vorgestellt, die auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse der qualitativen und quantitativen Teilstudien des Projekts "SoCiS – Social Citizen Science zur Beantwortung von Zukunftsfragen" entwickelt wurden. Sie adressieren die zentralen Forschungsfragen des Projektes: - Welche Innovationspotenziale sind mit Social Citizen Science (SCS) verbunden? - Welche Bedingungen sind für akademische als auch außerakademisch organisierte Aktivitäten zu berücksichtigen? - Welcher Voraussetzungen bedarf es für eine wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien genügende Partizipation von Bürger.innen an Social Citizen Science? Die Thesen sind in ihrer Verdichtung und Interpretation der empirischen Befunde dieser Studie zugleich als eine Diskussionsgrundlage für die weitere Entwicklung von Gestaltungsoptionen sowie für die weitere Erforschung von Social Citizen Science zu verstehen. Sie adressieren zudem fördernde und hemmende Faktoren für Zusammenarbeitsfähigkeit. Um den Praxisbezug zu fokussieren, sind die Thesen SCS in drei Gruppen zusammengefasst: Zusammenarbeit, Forschung sowie Rahmenbedingungen.
