Over The Public Scholar

Good research deserves a bigger audience. At The Public Scholar, we sit down with researchers across the social sciences to talk about their work, their ideas, and the social realities shaping our world. Hosted by Melisa Çelik and Hêvîdar Isik, two doctoral students in sociology who believe knowledge should travel further than a journal article. New episodes in English, German, and Turkish.

Migration as we know is ending w/ Prof. Nina Glick-Schiller

Is migration as we known it ending? What are the new challenges we have and how can we detect them? In this episode, we sit down with Professor Nina Glick-Schiller. She has been one of the most influential voices in migration studies and ask her exactly that. A scholar who has spent decades challenging the assumptions baked into how we study human movement, Nina forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: that academic research can reproduce the very hierarchies it claims to examine. That labeling people "illegal" or "undeserving" is not neutral science it is a political act. We talk about methodological nationalism, the scapegoating of migrants, border regimes, academic freedom, and what it would mean to study migration on genuinely human terms. We also talk about capitalism, how it shapes all of our lives, and why Nina, despite everything, remains hopeful. Contradictions, she reminds us, are also openings. This episode has a special format: Hevidar's students joined us in the recording, and their questions are woven throughout the conversation. It was our first interactive episode, and one of our favorites! The Public Scholar is a non-profit podcast by two social scientists who believe research should speak beyond the academy. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Episode 4: Pick-up-Artists und archivische soziologische Forschung mit Léandre Chavand

Wer sind Pick-up-Artists und was wollen sie eigentlich? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Léandre Chavand, Masterstudent der Soziologie an der Universität Bielefeld, über seine Forschung zu Pick-up-Artists und darüber, wie antifeministische Diskurse gezielt eingesetzt werden, um junge Männer anzusprechen und zu mobilisieren. Im ersten Teil der Episode sprechen wir außerdem mit Leo über seine laufende Archivforschung in der Stadtbibliothek: Wie nähert sich die Soziologie archivischem Material methodisch? Welche Erkenntnisse lassen sich daraus gewinnen und welche Grenzen hat diese Form der Forschung? Literatur in dieser Folge: -Wie konnte das geschehen? Deutschland 1933 bis 1945 von Götz Aly -Politische Männlichkeit von Susanne Kaiser -Warum Liebe endet: Eine Soziologie negativer Beziehungen von Eva Illouz

Episode 3: Gig Work, Platform Economy & the Sociology of Corporations w/ Davis Weidemann

What’s really going on behind gig work and digital platforms? In this episode, we chat with Davis Wiedemann, a young researcher from Germany who’s recently been admitted as a PhD student at Bielefeld University. We get into big-picture questions about how economic relations have changed over time, the rise (and sometimes fall) of corporations, and what the platform economy means for how we work today. Davis also shares insights from his fieldwork with Uber drivers in Germany, giving us a look at the often unseen realities of gig work—and why it can be so problematic. Works cited in this episode: -The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith -The Vanishing American Corporation: Navigating the Hazards of a New Economy by Gerald F. Davis -Die globale Wirtschaftselite: Eine Legende by Michael Hartmann
