Research up close - when research also challenges people on a human level

13 Dec 2023

Six researchers report on how they deal with being confronted with life stories, fates and emotions in their research.

Researchers are passionate about their topics. Some bring questions from their practical professional experience and want to get to the bottom of them academically. Others want to contribute to the transformation of our society. Or they have become aware of social challenges for which we have not yet found solutions.
What exactly motivates them to delve deep into their research topic? And how do they balance the fine line between personal enthusiasm or personal interests and objective observation? How carefully do they treat themselves when their research involves people with fates, emotions and challenges?

In the first episode of the new series, presenter Mariana Friedirch introduces the academics and their topics.
