Rankings (mit Tobias Werron und Leopold Ringel)
Internationale Rankings haben in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten enorm an Zahl und Prominenz hinzugewonnen. In unserer Forschung zu diesem Thema untersuchen wir diese „globale Rankingkultur“ aus einer soziologischen Perspektive, die Einsichten aus verschiedenen Forschungstraditionen - insbesondere aus der Soziologie der Konkurrenz, der Hochschul-/Wissenschaftsforschung sowie der Globalisierungs-/Weltgesellschaftsforschung - miteinander ins Gespräch bringt. Unser empirisches Interesse richtet sich vor allem auf zwei Felder, in denen Rankings eine zunehmend prominente Rolle spielen: Politik/Staaten sowie Wissenschaft/Hochschulen.
Rankings (together with Tobias Werron and Leopold Ringel)
Rankings have grown enormously in both number and visibility in recent years. In a series of projects, we investigate this “global ranking culture” in a historical-sociological perspective. As opposed to most of the literature, our research perspective is comparative in both systematic and historical regards. Rather than focusing on one particular field and the last few decades, we compare the role of rankings in different fields and study the long-term career of rankings in modernity. For this purpose, we combine insights and methods from different research traditions, particularly the sociology of competition, globalization research and organization studies.
