Abstract

Steffani Engler’s book investigates how scholars are being constructed in the social sciences. She describes and analyses the career paths of four male and two female professors. While Engler’s approach is grounded in biographical research, her research questions point in a new and radically different direction: Using Bourdieu’s “concept of understanding” as a starting point of her interpretation and analysis, Engler moves away from studying the individual to examining the way in which the academic field works.
