The founder of higher education research in Germany, Ulrich
Teichler, looks back on more than five decades of higher education
research. The economic miracle and university expansion, the
student movement, experiments and crises of the 1970s,
organisational breakdown, reunification, internationalisation,
ranking and management cult - all these are historical stages that
are reflected in higher education and science. Ulrich Teichler,
directly involved, reports with openness and humour, presenting
clever analyses.. Higher education research and Ulrich Teichler -
one is not conceivable without the other. Anyone involved in German
and European higher education research - that is, research that has
higher education as its subject matter - will not be able to avoid
his name. Ulrich Teichler was the founding director and for many
years the director of the International Center for Higher Education
Research at the University of Kassel, one of the first higher
education research centers at a German university. The student
protest of the late 1960s is only one of the drastic events that
Ulrich Teichler reports on. Other upheavals in higher education,
politics and society are also remembered, recounted and - this is
his great strength - analyzed by Ulrich Teichler as a contemporary
witness. Readers experience exemplarily how a research field is
established, how international impulses have an effect, how a
research scene emerges and how it deals with the economic cycles of
its research field. Since the beginnings of university research in
the late 1970s, the research scene has grown enormously and has
changed considerably - not least due to a change of generations. As
before, however, the observation remains that Ulrich Teichler has
had a strong influence on higher education research over all these
years. This constellation was the reason for two scientists of the
successor generation - Anna Kosmutzky and Christiane Rittgerott -
to look back on more than five decades of university research
together with Ulrich Teichler and to talk to him about his life as
a scientist, about research strategies, managing a research center
and much more. He answered the questions posed to him with his
typical openness, enthusiasm for providing information, and humour.
